Emmett and Denise Culley
How it began:
In October of 2000, we attended a course named “Clearly Related”. We each lived in different states (Colorado and California) and were both single. Like most other singles, we were both looking for the “perfect relationship”. We each thought we knew what we wanted, but something was missing in either our approach or our follow through. It was something we just couldn’t see. Frankly, neither one of us could understand why we were single.
Of course we had been in long term relationships. Some were okay, and some were miserable. Sometimes we were unhappy in those relationships and sometimes we could not understand why our partner was unhappy. On our own, we never figured it out! Not even with the help of books, counseling, self help, therapy and many other workshops. But now, after getting the distinctions about Men and Women that we learned in that course, we know there clearly is a difference in this relationship. The difference is so amazing to us. It’s two dreams come true.
That is why we decided to get training in how to teach that course, so that we could share that simple model for being happy in an ideal relationship.
We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk, every day. We’re a man and a woman in love, with a powerful message to share!
How we got to where we are today:
We met in October of 2000, and married nine months later.
We started by being friends on the telephone (long distance). After many hours on the phone, Denise starting seeing me as more than a friend. The turning point was when we had a frank conversation about what Denise really wanted. Because of that course, she was able to get to the core of what the man of her dreams would be. Then seeing some possibility, I declared myself to be the man of her dreams and asked for a date in Colorado in November of 2000.
By then, we were talking three to six hours every day. Next, I invited Denise to California for our second date. On our third date, Denise came back to California for a whole week between Christmas and New Years. That week was magical.
On New Year’s Eve, at the stroke of midnight in front of 30+ friends and family, I asked Denise to marry me. There was no doubt in my mind, or hers, that we would spend the rest of our lives together. Denise moved to California in February of 2001. We eloped that following July.
Neither one of us have ever known a relationship so easy, and so completely fulfilling. Because of what we learned in that weekend, we knew we were with our life partner. From that first date. The fact is, our relationship is so easy that our responsibility has become clear to us. Our goal is to share with others how to have the relationship of their dreams.
That’s why we gave up lucrative careers in high tech to develop and lead the weekend programs we call “Inspired Relationships”. We bring what we’ve learned to others that are interested in having the relationship of their dreams. We’ve enhanced our presentation of the program by adding anecdotes, distinctions, and insights that demonstrate and communicate the secrets of our ideal relationship. And that is how the Relationships 123 Inspired Relationships Program came to be.
