My Priorities with an individual or would we do it with a couple? My suggestion, of course, every situation’s different. The couple, they’re married, they kind of live on the same stage and I know we’re thinking, but if we do it as a couple, many times it can be controversy. I mean, they may completely disagree. Remember, our goal is to address all their needs, and many times we know they need to have this conversation. You might be the one that is actually able to get on their stage together so they can have this great conversation.
I know one of the things we have to be careful of — we don’t ever want to take sides — but our job is to build the highest level of trust in them. I think we’ll realize is when they do get somebody who’s willing to get on both of their stages, they love it. Many times this will be a conversation where they’re connecting, they’re agreeing, they’re understanding, and they don’t have anybody to facilitate that for them. Every situation’s different, but if you can, do the My Priorities with the couple together. They’re probably going to really appreciate it.
