We witness couples all the time which are made of two smart, successful, progressive people, but when they get together, it’s like a time warp to the 1950s. Outdated roles, lack of communication, disorganization, low standards and literally zero education on how to make marriage awesome, drive most people to either living in a passionless, friction filled, inequitable marriage, or they leave and usually get into another passionless, friction filled, inequitable marriage.
Marriage as an institution is outdated, and we are here to Modernize it.
We are Sarah Jenks and Dr. Jonathan Brajtbord. Sarah is a life coach and spiritual teacher and Jonathan is a urologist. We’ve been together for 14 years, married for 9 and have 3 kids under 6.
Before we had kids, we were the couple who was independent, traveling all the time and having sex in bar bathrooms, even after being together for years.
All that drained out of our marriage. We became the couple who fought in fancy restaurants, forcing me to leave and cry in the bathroom. Sarah became the primary parent and primary bread-winner which developed overwhelming resentment. Jonathan worked 90 hours a week in his surgical residency and felt disconnected from the family, deeply unappreciated and very distant from Sarah. During this time, Sarah was also on a spiritual journey which Jonathan refused to join, making us feel like we didn’t understand each other anymore or have a common dream for the life we were supposed to be creating together. The journey to creating a modern marriage based on sharing of responsibilities, incredible romance and us each having strong purpose and self-care was long and expensive, so we created a condensed, affordable marriage course that you can do from your home in just 7 days.
