Solid Relationships Take the Right Kind of Work.
“When you know, you know” is a common phrase to describe the certainty of how to identify your life partner.
But there are so many things that many seriously dating, engaged, and newly married couples don’t know - like how to converse about big topics that if aligned could lead to a lasting relationship, but if misaligned could lead to a floor of carpet and eggshells for the next 60 years. Yikes.
Maybe you’ve:
Been taught many different, sometimes conflicting, messages about how to make your relationship work and don’t know how to identify what will work best for you and your partner
Or…
Been left in the dark and taught nothing at all
Or…
Witnessed and/or experienced the exact opposite of what you want for your relationship
Us too.
We get it. It’s scary - that nagging fear that you’ll repeat the past or not have the life-long trust and connection you truly desire with the person who has your heart. Your love for each other runs deep and yet you struggle to have productive conversations around big topics like finances, family, gender roles, values, goals, intimacy, or effective communication. You know, or at least hope, that addressing these key topics sooner than later can help lead to more unity, connection, and trust in your relationship. You just don’t know where to begin…
Imagine if together you could
Create a unified vision for your marriage, aligned with Godly principles
Have a loving, trusting marriage even if you’ve never seen one modeled
See and feel seen by your partner in a deeper way
Be equipped with the tools to have productive conversations about topics you’ve avoided up until now
Feel more confident and equipped to be the best mate to your partner
Know you are modeling a healthy relationship to future generations
Set your children up for healthy relationships by your example
Guess what? You can! And we can help.
Let’s Strengthen Your Foundation
Meet Your Coaches
We’re Neil and Kiara Santos, and we created the Relationship Foundations program for Christian, marriage-oriented couples who want to experience a deeper level of connection. We have been coaches in athletics, business, leadership and relationships for over 23 years combined.
In the past 7 years, we have helped over 75 couples increase their trust and unity together. Neil’s 15 year track record of coaching youth travel baseball athletes, many of whom went on to play at the collegiate and professional levels, his service-oriented career in the medical and technology industries, and his genuine love for people all influence his coaching helping men become leaders in their relationships.
Kiara draws from her athletic background, leadership experiences from starting and operating multiple successful businesses, and 10 year career in Human Resources to help women be powerful while not overpowering their partners.
Together, our experiences complement our passion for helping couples define and accomplish their partnership goals.

FAQs
-
We both believe in therapy as a strategy to overcome obstacles and process trauma. In fact, we’ve both individually attended therapy for various reasons. However, we are not licensed therapists or counselors. We will be coaching from our personal experiences, biblical principles, and over 7 years and counting of helping other couples strengthen their relationships with more unity and connection.
-
We don't offer any full or partial refunds at any point before, during or after the program. When you make the commitment to purchase the Relationship Foundations program, you make the commitment to pay for the entire program whether you do the work or not. We know that you will be much more likely to show up when you’re putting your time, energy, and finances where your relationship goals are. Additionally, the exercises and materials from the program are yours to keep forever.
-
We offer payment plans to make our program more accessible to couples who would prefer to pay over the course of a year. The payment plan divides the cost of the program into 12 equal payments. You will save 5% by choosing to pay in full over choosing the payment plan.
-
After you complete your program registration, you will receive an email with details on how to select your weekly call times. Ideally, we would meet couple to couple at the same time each week for the 8 weeks, though we know that may not always be possible. We will do our best to accommodate schedules to ensure we are able to connect. We do require at least 24 hour notice to reschedule.
-
To get the most from the program, we highly recommend both parts of the couple are at each coaching session. Depending on the topic and the need, we may utilize breakout rooms to have woman to woman and male to male conversations.
-
As part of getting started, we will book recurring meetings for the 8 weeks we will be having our life 2 on 2 sessions. We are committed to our clients and prioritize the scheduled calls and expect our clients to do the same. Unless it is an emergency, we request 24 hour notice to reschedule a coaching call. If 24 hour notice is not given, the couple forfeits that week’s coaching session and will resume with the number of remaining sessions.
If there is no availability to reschedule before the next scheduled call and one part of the couple is able to attend, we will have the call with the one partner. All calls will be recorded and can be shared with the partner not in attendance.
If both partners are unable to attend or reschedule and you have submitted questions ahead of the call, we will use however much of the scheduled time we need to answer your questions and send the video recording.
-
In between sessions, we offer the opportunity to send a 10 minute or less video via Loom or Zoom to ask questions and give updates on how that week’s assignment is going. We will then record a video reply with answers, encouragement, and insights to guide you toward your goals.
-
In addition to our 50 minute coaching call, there will be individual and couple assignments to keep moving you forward towards your goals, which ideally should be done prior to our next call. The amount of time to complete the assignments will vary depending on the couple. However, all of the course material you will have access to forever so you can always come back to it if you need to.
-
We have seen countless couples who committed to the work and receive feedback get results in their relationships. If you both are committed to doing the work and invest time and energy into completing the coursework in the program, we are confident you will see results.
