Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, are partners in life and work. They co-created Imago Relationship Therapy to promote the transformation of couples and families by creating a relational culture that supports universal equality. 

Together, they have written 10 books with more than 4 million copies sold, including the New York Times best seller Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples. 

They also cofounded Imago Relationships International, a nonprofit organization that has trained more than 2,000 therapists and educators in 51 countries around the world. 

Yet, even as relationship experts, their marriage almost didn't survive. Just like any other couple, Harville and Helen experienced a power struggle where they attempted to change, coerce, and threaten each other to be "more like me." Ironically, their own teaching made the biggest difference in their marriage.  

Harville and Helen experienced the benefit of "practicing what you preach" to overcome negativity and learn to lovingly communicate. 

They reconnected through the exercises they use to coach thousands of other couples, restore their marriage, and enjoy a true partnership that has lasted more than 30 years.
