Has Parenting Made You Feel More Like Coworkers Than Partners?

OurRitual is a service that helps you overcome relationship struggles so your bond with each other remains fulfilling, passionate and healthy.

We wanted as many people as possible to have access to fantastic relationship support. The kind that fits their lifestyle, circumstance and schedule. So we created flexible programs using proven interventions, where you can be seen and understood, break the negative cycles and reignite that special thing in the core of your connection.

Great question! OurRitual is not considered to be classic couples therapy. Our program uses elements of couples therapy, such as face-to-face meetings with trained professional therapists from various states, who can offer a wide variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Differences between couples therapy and OurRitual include the possibility of individual, relationship-focused work, shorter sessions (forty vs. fifty minutes), and an emphasis on relationship education and skill acquisition. Our app also offers a host of tools for growth in-between sessions. We do offer deeper work and support for severely distressed couples who need it.

OurRitual combines the best of both worlds: personalized Expert guidance with self-paced learning tools designed specifically for busy parents. Unlike traditional couples therapy, our program offers shorter 40-minute sessions that fit into your schedule, paired with digital exercises and videos tailored to your specific challenges, plus the flexibility to work on your relationship anytime through our app.

That’s up to you. We believe in a clear end game, so we divided our content into units we call Pathways, and we match you with the Pathway that suits your goals and needs. Most members take about 1-2 months with each Pathway, and they usually move on to at least one more once they are done.
