We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Oliver & Denise Marcelle. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Oliver & Denise below.

Oliver & Denise, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

The real truth is that we didn’t come up with the idea. We stumbled upon a passion we never realized was there, and a purpose that would not only impact the lives of others but be the catalyst of growth in our own lives.

It started in 2012 – we were the participants in a marriage enrichment group. Even though we were just participants, we always had people coming to us saying things like, “we love your marriage”, “we love your ministry”, and asking us our advice on different marital topics. We never really thought of ourselves as ‘advice columnists’, after all, we were in the group for the same reason everyone else was in the group, right??

Well, it kept happening, so in 2013 (or thereabouts) we decided to start a blog. We would share bits and pieces of our story and the object lessons it afforded us. At the time that we started the blog, that was all we had in mind, nothing else. But, God had a different plan…
In addition to the blog, we started to make short marriage tip videos that we posted on social media and YouTube. Then came the podcast. Also somewhere during that time, we got offered our 1st speaking engagement. That experience opened the floodgate of possibility! We realized that we had something here and there are people who want, yea need to hear it.Fast forward to around the end of 2016/beginning of 2017, a couple asked us if we’d be willing to meet with them regularly to help them through some areas in their relationship. This was our introduction to coaching and the passion and purpose were revealed! We absolutely loved the experience! We then started getting all of the certifications and such, and the rest, as they say, is history!

We have been fortunate and blessed to have created a space where couples can acquire and explore the tools necessary to build the relationship of their dreams. We are also now working with small businesses, business owners, and corporate teams.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

We are authors, speakers, certified coaches, and content creators in the marriage enrichment and men’s empowerment spaces. We’ve been married for 22 years and have 3 children and 1 grandchild.

Out of a passion for helping relationships grow and the desire to lower the divorce rate 1 marriage at a time, we co-founded Denoli LLC – a marriage enrichment and self-development coaching company. Through seminars, books, coaching, a podcast, videos, and social media posts, we offer a candid look into their own marriage, with the goal being to encourage couples and help them explore, grow and learn together. We help married couples communicate without frustration and judgment, increase intimacy and build the relationship of their dreams.

We are passionate about seeing relationships thrive, both personally and professionally. As such, we openly share our journey in hopes that it will encourage and inspire others on their journey. We provide a wide range of services, from free resources to paid programs (both 1:1 and groups). We speak to audiences and facilitate group sessions in all areas of marriage, but typically in the areas of communication, conflict resolution, and intimacy,

Although we work with all types of couples, our ideal couple has been married for 10 years or less. They are both professionals who are either starting a family or have children that are 5 years old and under. Couples who work with us take away from the experience the ability to communicate on an extraordinary level, the capacity to navigate and recover from conflict in record time and build intimacy holistically in a way that grows and solidifies their bond.

We specialize in guiding couple through the process of creating a blueprint that is specific to their marital goals. You will never get ‘conceptual knowledge’ from us. We are excited and motivated by seeing couples experience pivotal breakthroughs and have been blessed to help many couples craft strategies for success in their marriage. We often tell our clients that we will be their biggest critics, but equally their biggest cheerleaders.

Whether it is a free resource (video, podcast, etc.), or a paid coaching experience, you will get our very best.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Quite honestly, the entire journey up to this point is one that requires resilience. The entrepreneurship journey is a rollercoaster ride. Some days you are riding with your hands up, shouting with glee at the experience, other times you are looking at the person next to you and wondering why you let them talk you into getting on this ride…lol

If we had to pull out a particular story, we had everything set up for a group program that we just knew was going to be a hit. We spent money on ads, we had everything set up and ready to go…
Long story short, nothing happened! No appointments, and no one bought the program. It was very disappointing and it made us question whether we were pursuing the right thing. Is this really our purpose? However, after a moment or two of feeling that way and asking those questions, we dusted ourselves off and went back to the drawing board. We resolved that we are confident we are in the right space, now it’s time to go back to the drawing board and put in the work.

There are times when your path may seem blocked, but don’t ever give up. If you believe that this is your passion and your purpose, keep pushing and the path will be made clear.
