- "The Relationship Cure"
  
  This book will show you five steps you can take to master the fundamental unit of emotional communication and make your relationships work:
  
  Analyze the way you "bid" and the way you respond to others’ bids.
  
  Discover how your brain’s emotional command systems affect your bidding process.
  
  Examine how your emotional heritage impacts your ability to connect with others and your style of bidding.
  
  Develop your emotional communication skills.
  
  Find shared meaning with others.
  
  A bid can be a question, a gesture, a look, a touch—any single expression that says, “I want to feel connected to you.” A response to a bid is just that—a positive or negative answer to somebody’s request for emotional connection.
  -- John Gottman and Joan DeClaire. The Relationship Cure, page 4

Experience Phenomenal Care and Support

By Catholics

Our team loves the Church. We are a faithful couple who desires to support and inspire married couples and their families. We welcome the opportunity to serve you and your families. Our training and life experiences enable us to deliver on our promise to help you and your family unite and grow in holiness.

For Everyone

We know the blessings (and challenges) of family life. We've been through marriages, births, loss of loved ones through miscarriages, death, divorce and annulment. We've experienced job losses and career changes, broken relationships, reconciliations, major illnesses, conversions, and happy celebrations. We trust in the power of prayer and have faith in God's mercy and love.

Meet Our Team

Tony and Charisse Rubio feel a strong call to build up families in response to our culture, which is tearing down marriage and family values. Their ministry promotes sacramental marriages by offering one-to-one accompaniment for individuals and couples that supports important aspects of marriage building and family unity. They also walk with those who are in struggling relationships by offering emotional / spiritual support and crucial resources, as well as facilitating a journey of renewal after separation and divorce called RESTORED: REVIVING OUR JOY AND HOPE. They are not counselors or therapists, but Catholics with vast life experiences and the availability to accompany and care for families or individuals in the particular challenges and needs related to family life.
