    FAQ’s

     Q: Do you offer in-person sessions?

    A: Yes, Nadine offers in person sessions at her office in the East Renton Highlands in Washington State. She also offers virtual sessions for those who prefer it and for clients who live out of the area.

    Q: Do you take insurance?

    A: No, we are unable to take insurance.

    Q: Do you offer 1:1 coaching as well?

    A: Yes, in addition to couples and group coaching, Nadine does offer 1:1 coaching. There are a number of situations where people want to work on themselves or on what’s within their own control in order to have a healthier relationship. Additionally, couples always have the option to schedule 1:1 sessions with Nadine even if they usually see her together.

    Q: How long are the sessions?

    A: Nadine offers both one-hour and 90-minute sessions. In special cases, she can also offer an intensive option where she meets with the clients for an extended period of time during the course of a day or weekend. If this is what you’re looking for, please fill out a contact form to learn her rates and availability for an intensive option.

    Q: We are Christians and are looking to incorporate Biblical principles into our coaching. Is that something Nadine can do?

    Q: Do you offer consultations?

    A: Yes, we can offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation via Zoom. Please complete the contact form to request a consultation.

    Q: Do I need to be a Christian to work with Nadine?

    A: No, not at all. We work with non-Christian and Christian clients. Nadine, herself, is a Christian, but her approach to helping her clients is personalized to each couple and the specific needs of their relationship. She utilizes a lot of proven research in what she teaches and has been very effective in working with a diverse clientelle.

    Q: Will Nadine’s husband, Duane, also be involved in the coaching?

    A: No, he will not. Duane and Nadine host a podcast together called A Purpose Driven Marriage Podcast and also teach workshops together. However, as a Certified Marriage and Relationship Coach, all private and group coaching are with Nadine.

    Q: How is Marriage or Relationship Coaching different from Marriage Counseling?

    A: In Marriage or Relationship Coaching, the emphasis is in taking the relationship from where it is, to where you desire for it to be. We strongly believe that couples don’t have to settle for a mediocre marriage, nor do you have to accept the fate of an unhealthy relationship simply because of your past or the family you came from. Marriages are meant to thrive and we show couples exactly how you can implement sustainable change in your own relationship so you can have a healthy marriage that you can enjoy and model for your children.

    In Marriage and Relationship Coaching, we take a deep dive into your relationship history; identify habits, patterns, and beliefs that have brought you to this point as a couple and individual; remove roadblocks that make you stuck; and teach you the proven tools and techniques, healthy habits, researched-based principles, and effective mindset that will help you to communicate more effectively, resolve conflict in a healthy way, create greater connection and intimacy, and enjoy a friendship with one another once again.

    If you are looking for a marriage counselor, Nadine is your best choice! I can’t be happier with the decision to trust her to help my husband and I go through some difficult times. She has been such a blessing, wonderful support and was able to guide us through the process of learning how to communicate with each other, which seemed impossible at the time. She has shared a lot of her personal experience in order to inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves. The second you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her for years and you can trust her with an open heart! Thank you, Nadine!

    Wow, we cannot praise Mrs. Nadine and her marital coaching services enough! My husband and I are a young couple, and walked through the fires of tribulations early on into our relationship. Mrs. Nadine is able to communicate in ways that both my husband and I understand in our own unique ways. She asks thought provoking questions that aid in getting to the root of the issue and supporting both parties in navigating any given concern or discord. No matter the issue, no matter the history, no matter the couple, we would absolutely recommend Mrs. Nadine and her marital coaching services to any couple seeking to save or improve their marriage and relation with their other half. Mrs. Nadine is patient, compassionate, empathic, intelligent and will surely offer you and your spouse a kind heart and her listening ears throughout each session you have with her. Highly recommend, 5 stars is not enough to express our gratitude!

    M. Kruljac

    We have been absolutely loving working with Nadine and recommend her pre-marital coaching to everyone getting married! She’s incredibly welcoming and that allowed us to open up to talk about ourselves. You really get to understand your partner through her coaching and it has helped us build a stronger foundation for the future. We are so much happier after having working with Nadine! Thank you so much!

    S. Stanford

    Our sessions with Nadine were so fun and enlightening! The assessment at the beginning was able to evaluate my husband’s personality and my own so well, it was crazy how accurate it was.

    Nadine was so helpful in mediating the conversations between us and looking at the information from the assessment in a more impactful way than if we simply took the assessment at face value. She helped put it into real-life scenarios and helped us talk through points we didn’t fully understand or agree on. I know there have been multiple times in our marriage already where I’ve looked back and leaned on the methods she taught us to handle more difficult conversations.

    I would fully recommend any sort of session with Nadine; it’s the best investment in your relationship that I think you could make!

    Nadine is an amazing councilor. My Fiancée and I took a premarital counseling course that her and her husband taught. This was such an fresh and enlightening course that we decided to go to her for premarital counseling. Hands down, one of the best investments we have ever made in our relationship. Nadine is so easy and kind to talk to. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of experience which was apparent upon our first session. Another big credit to her was her ability to broach sensitive subjects. She was very well organized and kept us on track during our discussions which is a huge plus. She also has great instincts and advice to which I might credit to how well she listened during our sessions. Nadine gave a new perspective to challenging issues that we had been trying to work out. I highly recommend her.

    Duane and Nadine Stewart are awesome! My wife and I have been attending a marriage class with them for about 8 months now and they have been serving us very well. They have been great facilitators and helped us see that we were on the same page (even more than we thought) and hold mostly the same goals, values, and dreams for the future. We appreciated the opportunity to work through our relationship vision and receive tools for listening better to each other and being solid teammates.  I couldn’t recommend them higher! Finally, we thought the cost was very reasonable given the many hours of coaching and content.

    Nick Embree

    Nadine is a true gem. She was so vulnerable and willing to share her own life experience. This allowed me to open up more and feel 100% comfortable with being vulnerable. Her encouraging words and wisdom are so valuable and easily applicable. It was such a blessing to have been able to spend time with Nadine. If you have a chance to spend time with her, it will be time well spent. True blessing!

    Mallory Stinger

    Nadine is such a great life coach! Her positive approach is thought provoking and so encouraging. We appreciate everything that she has done for our marriage. Thank you so much Nadine.

    This is such an important topic and I so appreciate how Nadine delivered it! She was funny and so real while giving the topic of Sex and Intimacy the importance it not only deserves, but needs! Nadine’s Sex and Intimacy talk has the ability of being a complete game changer!

    Starre Fox

    My husband and I attended two different Purpose Driven Marriage courses, and both were life changing! The tools we learned from Nadine and Duane have been such a blessing and we put them into practice daily. We talk about our goals and dreams more now than ever and we are excited for our marriage and all that it has in store for us. Even if your marriage is strong and on track it never hurts to nurture it! If you ever have the opportunity to take a class from Nadine and/or Duane I highly recommend you sign up!

    Ashlea Hayter

    I appreciate how you make this an “easy” “normal” thing to talk about. I grew up not learning anything from my parents. You have also addressed a lot of the things I’m currently working through and trying to fix in me and wasn’t sure how to go about that. Now I have more tools to help me! Thank you!

    We had the distinct pleasure to participate in the Purpose Driven Marriage classes this past year. The instructors Duane and Nadine were incredibly sweet, yet charming while teaching us techniques and skills which have improved and brought a bright light to the darkness which can at times occur in relationships, especially after 40 years. We find ourselves relying on these unmistakeable skills throughout the week. At times it’s funny one,of us will respond in one way and the other will respond using the fun and easy techniques we learned. There are not enough words to praise them for their patience, love, professionalism and wit. All which helped us learn and change from cracked eggs into a lovely omelet. Precious, timeless training from incredibly wonderful trainers who become friends.

    C & S

    Rob and I were fortunate in taking a class from Nadine and Duane before the pandemic. It was fun, informative and well organized. The class and content of material prompts a lot of great conversation and thought. I would definitely recommend working with a Purpose Driven Marriage if you are interested in improving your marriage. If your marriage is great, but you would like to make improvements this would be a great place to start. And flip side, if you need a full overhaul, this would be a great place to start as well. I recommend working with A Purpose Driven Marriage 100%! Wonderful people!
