For many of the people who come through MITT, the work isn't done alone. Couples enroll together. Spouses sign up for the same session because they want to grow alongside the person they share their life with. Some come because their relationship is thriving and they want it to deepen further. Some come because something has been hard, and they're looking for tools to navigate it. Some come because one partner did the program first and the other became curious about what shifted.
This is one of the most common patterns we see, and it's worth understanding what it actually looks like, who it serves, and what couples take away from the experience.
MITT participants who attend as couples include:
MITT is inclusive of same-gender couples. Whether a couple is married, partnered, engaged, or building a life together by any other definition, the work serves people who want to do it together. The training is structured around adult human experience, not around any specific relationship configuration.
It's also true that many spouses choose to attend without their partner. There is no expectation that someone enroll alongside their spouse, and many participants come on their own with the support — or simply the awareness — of their partner at home. Both paths work. Both are common. Neither is the right choice for every couple.
In conversations with MITT graduates over the years, a few themes come up again and again when couples are asked why they decided to do the work together:
To learn the same language. When two people experience a transformational program at the same time, they leave with shared vocabulary, shared frameworks, and shared reference points. They can hold each other to insights they both worked for. Conversations that used to circle back to the same arguments often shift, because both people now have new tools for the same conversation.
To strengthen something that's already strong. Healthy relationships benefit from intentional investment. Couples who are already doing well together often find that MITT helps them go from good to deeply connected — not by fixing something broken, but by surfacing things neither person quite knew how to articulate.
To navigate something difficult. Couples in conflict, or couples who feel stuck in patterns they can't break, sometimes find that an experiential program offers what years of conversation could not. The work is not couples therapy and shouldn't replace it, but for many couples, it functions as a complement to therapy or a different kind of support entirely.
To make a transition together. Career changes, moves, becoming parents, losing parents, kids leaving home — life transitions reshape relationships. Couples who go through MITT during a transition often describe it as helping them face the change as partners rather than as separate people moving in parallel.
Because one partner went first. This is one of the most common paths. One person does the Basic Training, comes home changed in ways their partner notices, and the partner becomes curious. There's no script for what happens next — sometimes the second partner enrolls in the next available session, sometimes a year passes, sometimes they decide it's not for them. All of these are normal.
When couples attend MITT together, they go through the same training as everyone else. They are not separated into a "couples track." They participate in the same exercises, alongside the same mix of other participants — single people, individuals attending without their partner, friends, business colleagues, family members. The couple's relationship is one part of their life that may come up in the work, but the program is not organized around the relationship itself.
This is, perhaps counterintuitively, one of the reasons couples often find the work powerful. Each partner does their own work, in their own way, in a room where their partner is also doing theirs. The two journeys happen in parallel — connected, but not co-dependent on each other. What emerges, often, is each partner showing up as a more fully realized version of themselves, and the relationship benefiting as a result.
"MITT Mastery in Transformational Training was, without question, one of the most important things I have ever done. It transformed me, my husband, and our marriage in ways I genuinely did not think were possible.
I walked in thinking I knew myself and walked out understanding that the version of me I had been living was only a fraction of who I was capable of being.
Through this process, you will become the best, most expanded, and powerful version of yourself.
The trainer, Chris Lee, is absolutely magical. There is no other word for him. The way he holds the room, the way he sees you, the way he calls you into your highest self, is a gift.
Run. Don't walk to do this. Your future self will thank you."

The specific takeaways vary by couple, of course. Some of the patterns we hear most often:
None of these are guaranteed. The work, like any meaningful work, depends on what each person brings to it. But for couples who arrive willing to engage, these are the kinds of changes that show up.
It's worth being clear: MITT is not couples therapy. It is not marriage counseling. It is not a substitute for either. Couples who are managing a serious relationship crisis, dealing with abuse, or working through clinically significant issues should make decisions about MITT in consultation with a qualified therapist or counselor. MITT can complement that work, but it is not a replacement for it.
MITT is also not a relationship retreat or a couples-focused program. It is a leadership and personal development training that many couples choose to do together. The distinction matters, because the work is about the individual first — and the relationship benefits as a downstream effect of each partner growing.
