Hi, I’m Francis Peca, and I understand how tough marriage can be. As a husband married to my soulmate, Camea, I know the joys and challenges that come with building a life together. I’ve been lucky to find my passion as a marriage coach, helping couples rediscover love and connection.
Marriage isn’t always easy. Life throws challenges our way that test even the strongest relationships. From communication breakdowns to major trust issues, these struggles can leave you feeling stuck or unsure of the way forward. But I want to assure you that you can overcome these challenges with the right guidance and build a stronger relationship than ever.
Let’s talk about some of the most common marriage problems I’ve encountered and how we can tackle them together.
The Most Common Marriage Problems
1. Lack of Intentional Communication
In my coaching sessions, one of the most frequent issues I see is couples struggling with communication.
Talking is easy, but connecting? That takes effort. I call this intentional communication—deliberately trying to truly hear your partner and share your feelings openly and honestly.
When communication breaks down, misunderstandings grow, resentment builds, and disconnection takes over. For example:
- Are you really listening, or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?
- Do you avoid the tough conversations that could actually bring you closer?
- Are your needs and feelings going unheard or unspoken?
My Solution: I encourage couples to carve out intentional time to talk—away from the noise of everyday life. During these moments, focus on listening with empathy and clearly expressing yourself.
2. Not Sharing Goals
Marriage is a partnership; if you and your spouse aren’t working toward the same future, it can create frustration and disconnection.
Whether clashing over financial priorities, differing career ambitions, or disagreeing about starting a family, unshared goals can drive a wedge between you.
My Solution: I help couples align their dreams and support one another’s aspirations. Together, we’ll identify where your goals overlap and create a roadmap for a shared vision of the future.
3. Not Being Your Best Self at Home
I’ve learned through my own marriage and coaching journey that it’s easy to give the best version of yourself to everyone except your spouse. I call this the Inside-Out Theory: your best energy should start at home and radiate outward—not the other way around.
Too often, we save our patience, positivity, and enthusiasm for work or friends, leaving our partner with whatever’s left over. But when you prioritize your spouse and family, you create a foundation of love and energy that benefits every other part of your life.
My Solution: I teach couples simple habits that bring out their best at home, from practicing daily gratitude to creating rituals of connection, like a weekly date night or shared morning routine.
4. Infidelity
Let’s face it: infidelity is one of the hardest challenges a marriage can face.
The pain and betrayal it causes can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to mean the end. With commitment, vulnerability, and the right guidance, many couples find that working through infidelity strengthens their relationship.
My Solution: I create a safe, judgment-free space for couples to process the pain of infidelity and rebuild trust. We focus on understanding the root causes, healing emotional wounds, and laying the foundation for a stronger partnership moving forward.

My Journey to Becoming a Marriage Coach
I didn’t always know this would be my calling.
Growing up in Philadelphia, I learned about family values from my parents, who were loving yet faced their challenges. My dad, an expressive and generous Italian man, struggled with alcoholism, and I often found myself stepping up as an emotional leader at home.
“Too often, we save our patience, positivity, and enthusiasm for work or friends, leaving our partner with whatever’s left over.”
Later, my corporate career taught me about leadership and connection, but it wasn’t until I met my wife, Camea, that I found my true purpose. Together, we’ve built a life and a business focused on helping couples create the dream marriages they deserve.
