Redefining what it means
to prepare for love.
In the early 90s — yes, THAT 90s — Dr. Marla Reis began sitting across from engaged couples and asking them the questions nobody else was asking. What she found was a pattern so consistent it never stopped showing up: couples arriving at the altar using the language of commitment without the substance of real conversation. The research became her doctoral dissertation at the University of Miami. And the clinical work that followed — thousands of couples, decade after decade — only kept confirming it. The Intimacy Prenup™ is what over three decades of validating her findings finally produced.
Dr. Marla is a leading intimacy and relationship expert dedicated to helping couples build deeply connected, resilient partnerships. Known for her direct yet compassionate approach, she works at the intersection of emotional intimacy, communication, trust-building, and long-term relationship sustainability — helping couples move beyond surface-level compatibility and into deeply aligned, conscious partnership.
"Intimacy is not something couples should leave to chance — it's something they can intentionally create, nurture, and protect."
