Hello I'm Margrit Harris!

Let me tell you a little bit about us and why we want to and can give you the relationship advice you need.

Consider this...

Life's greatest joys come from our close relationships.  Unfortunately so do life's deepest sorrows.  We offer you helpful answers to your tough relationship questions to minimize the hurt and maximize the joy. 

Wendy Bridger and I combined have well over 35 years of professional experience with relationships.  

Professional:    Over the past 20 plus years I’ve been privileged to work with a broad range of clients in a variety of places and settings.  From high powered business partnerships across the USA to dedicated volunteer companions in the Philippines, and from seasoned married couples in Houston to fledgling life partners around the globe.

The commonality being each client, whether business or private, seeks help to develop, regroup, resolve a crisis, or move to the next level in a most important relationship.

My sojourn to relationship expert includes: a dual master’s degree in Human Development and Clinical Social work; numerous years as a marriage and family therapist; a national business partnership study; and developing my own consulting practice.

One of the contributions I’m most proud of is my series of Awareness Tools [relationship compatibility tests] and interactive programs that have changed the destiny of many a business partnership and solidified the foundation of umpteen life partners. Today these tools are a core part of our "Get the Right Guy for the Real You" experience.

I’ve been sighted as one of America’s top Teambuilding gurus [On Wall Street magazine], had articles published in parenting magazines, have been interviewed on both television and radio to discuss relationship matters, and officially made my début as an online relationship expert in January 2005 [Horsesmouth live intranet discussion] and the launching of our interactive website. 

Personal:    Let me share something personal.  I grew up in a family where nobody ever talked about the things that were most important to them.   Feelings like religion and sex were taboo.  I really didn’t know there was such a thing as relationship.  There were just, well, connections. 

Self-awareness was not in my vocabulary and understanding what was going on with me was totally out of my frame of reference.   I could truly have been called an Emotional Dunce.  

But I was very lucky.   I married a loving and open man who also had an enormous amount of patience.  First he taught me how to identify feelings, then to understand them and finally to talk about them.  He swears that it took years before I began to open up.  I still struggle with it on occasion today.  

Through our relationship, I learned to understand myself ~ then him ~ then others.  I learned first-hand the incredible difference between being self-aware and being totally in the dark, and I love it.  It fascinated me.
 
Once I understood, I wanted to bring the same miracle to others.  I knew others like me didn't know they were living in the darkness and didn't know there was light and how it impacted their relationships.   So I extended my own quest into ways to bring it to others.  I studied, and I worked, and I learned and I practiced.  Through it all, in the crucible of my family, I learned more and more about finding that light of knowing the real me.

Today,  there are three things I'm passionate about. . .being ever aware of refining the real me, supporting my partner’s personal growth  -- the same one I've been blessed to have for 31 years,  and living my relationships on the foundation of basic, unchangeable truths . . . truths and principles that I gradually uncovered on my own journey. 
 
I bring these ‘secrets’ to you with the joy of discovery and the hope that they will change your life and relationships as dramatically and positively as they did mine.

Hello I'm Wendy Bridger!

ANNOUNCEMENT:  I am currently available for speaking engagements on my most favorite topic - RELATIONSHIPS.

Please contact me for details.  You can earn money when you invite me to speak to your organization, group, church or conference. 

Relationships have always fascinated me. My favorite hobby is analyzing people’s behavior and figuring out what could make their relationships better.

I love hearing people’s stories, getting my arms around their struggles, and understanding their relationship dynamics. Through listening, guiding and providing information, I'm privileged to watch lives improve as people put aside old beliefs and habits and embrace new ones.

By the time I was 10 years old I'd earned the nickname 'Lucy'.  Remember Charlie Brown's young friend turned psychiatrist with her lemonade stand like 'counseling booth'?  As a child, I was constantly helping those around me better their personal lives.  Well, in order to earn more than '5 cents'I went to college and made a career out of helping.

Even in college, I spent many nights listening to friends’ relationship dilemmas and guiding them toward solutions. I saw several marry after believing they would never be worthy of love or capable of loving someone else, and saw others gain the strength to leave situations that were destructive. I also saw some struggle in marriages and others desperately long for companionship. Each time, I used the skills I was learning in school with my own passion and gifts to help.

My professional experience varies from helping those with HIV/AIDS, the elderly, single parents on TANF (welfare), and the dying and their families. I also spent over a year abroad helping the Filipino people. I have presented workshops through out the world on topics varying from "Communicating With Your Partner" to "How to Find the Right Partner" to "How to Deal With Breakup Heartache". I also provide an online e-course, "Get the Right Guy Without Giving Up the Real You" to help those single and looking end up with their ideal life partner.

I am excited to be inclued in the book, "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life" with authors such as Mark Victor Hansen, from the "Chicken Soup for the Soul Series", and Zig Ziglar. Additionally, I am working on completing another book, "Finish Happy". This book will show you the way to not only enjoy your relationship now, but end happily ever after as well.

I am a firm believer in getting the right guy without giving up the real you, as I am living proof of the universal truths behind this program ["Get the Right Guy for the Real You".] I had mapped out my life from an early age, including the time frame I wished to find the right guy and settle down.

When this time came and went, I had to stop and ask myself why. This was the beginning of a path that lead to me finding out more about myself, what was important to me, and what type of mate would best suit me. By doing this, I stopped falling into relationships by chance, and started enjoying my single life and watching for the Right Guy with the qualities that would complement mine and allow me to be the Real Me.

In time, I met my husband. Interestingly enough, I knew very quickly that he was what I had been looking for. Lucky for me, he felt the same way! At times, the depth of our love and friendship still amazes me. 

To spare you further trial and error I share with you these choice 'secrets' I have learned.  If you apply them you will find strength in knowing who you are, knowledge of what to look for in a mate, and happiness along the journey of life, whether coupled up or not.

Today I am happily married to the love of my life, Chris. Almost a year ago we became parents to a beautiful, happy baby girl. Our most recent adventure was traveling to Hong Kong and the Philippines as a family. Presently, Chris and I are preparing to run a 5K together in March. I am also the proud "mom" of 2 dogs and a cat.
