About

I’m Mark Saindon, a marriage and family therapist with a counseling practice in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon. I’ve been married to my wife Nancy for 21 years, and together we have three kids, all teenagers.

I specialize in working with couples who are struggling in their relationship and need some help getting things back on track, or couples who already have a good relationship but are looking to make it even better.

The purpose of this blog is to share and discuss different ideas about couples and marriage that will help you improve as a partner, better understand your spouse, and in general enhance your relationship.

My hope is that by reading this blog you may experience a thump, smack, bump, or bang that will knock you out of your ordinary way of thinking, give you fresh ideas or remind you of old ideas that you’ve forgotten, and help you to have a strong relationship – one that thrives.
