About Denise
Welcome to My Marriage Works!
Hi I’m Denise Fitzpatrick. I’m a marriage & relationship coach for married women & couples, committed to making their marriage work.
I specialize in helping couples who’ve been struggling in their relationship for years. You love each other and want to stay married. Just not like this.
You’ve tried fixing things on your own. But despite your efforts you’re stuck repeating the same painful cycle over and over and you don’t know what to do or how to change it.
I know how painful it can be to feel stuck in this place with no hope that it could ever be different. And I also know it’s completely possible to transform your marriage even when it feels impossible.
When I invested in myself, in my own coaching, not only did my marriage change but my whole life improved. Through coaching and a lot of hard work I discovered how to have a happy, healthy, thriving relationship with my husband and enjoy my life more than I ever have. I’ve been married for 21 years and the happiest I’ve been.
Of course my marriage is not perfect. We still have our good days and bad days. The difference is the good days far outweigh the bad now that we have the knowledge and tools to have a successful marriage in any season of life.
THIS is why I am so passionate about helping couples fix their marriage and improve their life. I know what’s possible and want to share that with anyone that is doubting they can make it work.
I’m passionate about saving marriages and keeping families together.
With my years of education, training and experience, I’ve developed my own process to help others create healthy thriving relationships with their life partner.
Through coaching I help women & couples learn how to communicate effectively, end painful patterns in their relationships and bring love and connection to their marriage again.
I’ve seen too many people give up on their marriage when things get hard.They think their only options are to stay unhappily married OR get a divorce. Many choose the latter.
They figure they’ve married the wrong person and will find happiness in a new relationship.
But that is hardly ever true.
The truth is divorce is painful, costly and ruins lives.
I’m on a mission to change that!
A mission to save marriages and keep families together.
I want to create a world where we bust the myth that marriage is supposed to be easy.
A world where people exhaust all possibilities before deciding to divorce.
A world where people don’t hesitate to consistently invest in getting support for their marriage instead of waiting until it’s beyond repair.
A world where investing in your marriage is the norm and is seen as something as important (or more important) as investing in your wedding day.
A world where couples understand that leaving your relationship for a new one will NOT bring you happiness because happiness doesn’t come from your partner.
Between my training, my experience working with couples for ten years and my own marriage of 23 years, I have developed a deep understanding of the work it takes to create a thriving, healthy relationship with your life partner.
