About
Lesli Doares brings over twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples as a coach and therapist. Combined with her personal experience in an almost 40-year relationship with her husband, she has created a paradigm shift in marriage so it can become a space where both partners feel respected and included.
Lesli is well known for her direct but compassionate approach – gentle, but total honesty is what you’ll get. Her commitment to her marriage and children led her to crisscross the country a couple of times until the L. A. girl settled down in the South. She brings this fusion of cultures to both her business and her life.
She is also the author of Blueprint for a Lasting Marriage: How to Create Your Happily Ever After with More Intention, Less Work and Being a Hero Husband: How to Make Your Wife (and You) Happy.
Insights
- Lesli: "Relationships feel natural at first, but they require skills to thrive. Love needs attention, effort, and nourishment—if left to chance, it won’t last."
- Liz: "Men need more support. They want to be our heroes, and we should create space for them to step into that role. Prioritizing women’s physical and emotional safety fosters a stronger, more connected marriage."
- Dave: "Husbands should listen beyond tone and words to find the real pain—fear, frustration, or unmet needs. Instead of reacting defensively, focus on understanding and responding to what truly hurts.
