We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Reginald and Bernetta Sweet a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Reginald and Bernetta , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

The story behind our mission is that my wife and I have both had a failed marriage and we were determined to make sure this marriage was successful. We love successful relationships and we we wanted to make sure every couple we spoke with was equipped with the tools to make sure their relationships were strong and sturdy.

Reginald and Bernetta , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

We are both certified Life and Relationship coaches. We are also Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. We are honest and transparent and our goal is to equip coupes with the tools to help build a solid and sturdy relationship.

We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.

My wife and I were familiar with each other a few years before we even went on a date . I hosted a few events for her because she as an event planner. When we decided to date, we both made sure it was what we wanted. She made it very clear what she would not put up with because in her previous marriage she endured a lot of things and hat she never intended to put up with. She made a post on Facebook that went something to the effect of “if you want to date me don’t ask for a date through social media. I did exactly opposite of what she said and we both laughed the rest is what they say is history..

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

As relationship coaches. We have to constantly unlearn some things that we learned from our elders. We have had to unlearn that love is enough to keep a relationship together. It takes more than love it takes so many other things coupled with love to make a relationship function. We had to unlearn that communication is the key to a healthy relationship. The key to a healthy relationship is effective communication not just communication because you can communicate and still not be effective.
