Coaching: A valuable resource in the Blessing (w/Joni Makkonen) [Ep. #9]
In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Joni Makkonen – husband of 15 years, father of two teens, family and relationship coach and founder of Das Relationship.
Joni highlights how relationship coaching is beneficial at every stage of marriage, whether you're newly married or years down the road. It's not just for couples in crisis — it’s about growing together, deepening connection, and navigating change with support.
Homework for this week from Joni:
Go on dates – just the two of you. If you have kids. don’t hesitate to ask a family, friends or babysitter to help. Your relationship deserves undistracted time together.
Increase non-sexual touch - Small acts like cuddling, hugging or holding hands foster connection and safety, especially in stressful seasons.
This episode is a heartening reminder that growth is always possible – and help is always worth reaching for.
