Most couples wait too long.
By the time they reach out, years of unresolved conflict have built walls that feel impossible to bring down. A marriage coach does not wait for the walls to fall on their own.
Paul Zohav M.Ed. has been coaching couples in Tucson for over 30 years. He works with couples who are struggling and couples who simply want to build something stronger before problems take root.
Marriage coaching with Paul is not about venting into a void. It is about learning specific, practical communication skills and using them immediately.
Every session ends with something you can use before you leave the room.
Paul works with couples on the full range of relationship challenges, including:
Every session is tailored to the couple in the room. Paul does not use a one-size-fits-all approach.
Getting started is straightforward.
Step 1: Book your free 30-minute discovery call.
A conversation to understand where you are, what you need, and whether Paul is the right fit for you. No pressure, no commitment.
Step 2: Complete your first session.
The first session runs 90 minutes to 2 hours. Paul uses two assessments with every new couple: the Love Languages quiz and the MBTI personality type assessment. Understanding how each partner gives and receives love, and how each processes the world differently, is the foundation of everything that follows.
Step 3: Learn and apply the tools.
Paul teaches proprietary communication frameworks developed over 30 years. Most couples notice real change within 3 to 5 sessions.
Sessions are available in person in Tucson and online via Zoom for couples anywhere in the US.
Posted on Google Calvin KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When introduced to Paul, my wife and I were just trying to get to the point where we would be able to be civil at future functions when it came to the kids. After learning new communication skills, we are headed towards a life neither of us thought possible.Posted on Google Kristen SandersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I came to Paul for pre-marital counseling a few years ago. He’s very kind and did a good job of giving us ideas for communicating more effectively with each other. He also had great ideas for activities we could do to maintain our closeness. My husband and I are still happily married, so I’d say Paul did a great job with us!Posted on Google Hannah PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I worked with Paul prior to our marriage (premarital counseling). We enjoyed our sessions and felt we learned quite a bit from Paul. Specifically he helped us configure better communication methods that worked well for our relationship. We have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so. We've been married 5 years so far with no intentions to change that! Thanks Paul!Posted on Google Aubrey Lynn MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I began seeing Paul before we were married, and continued during some of the most challenging seasons of our early marriage. While we’re still growing and working through things, Paul gave us the tools to navigate conflict with mutual respect and care. He helped us learn how to truly listen, reflect, and communicate in ways that strengthen our connection rather than damage it. What stood out most was Paul’s patience, wisdom, insight, and generosity. He creates a space that feels safe and grounded, and I always felt heard and seen, sometimes more than I even knew I needed. Our time with him has not only benefited our relationship, but has helped me grow into a more confident, self-respecting version of myself. When I first started meeting with Paul, I felt scared, insecure, and unsure of what was “wrong” with me. Now, I feel hopeful and equipped to live with more joy and freedom. I’m deeply grateful for the role he’s played in our journey.Posted on Google O. Daniel RaineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul did a good job mediating and helping us better communicate. This is not, necessarily, couples therapy. Rather, it is communication coaching. 4 years later, we still use some of the tools given.Posted on Google Vellia SpencerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul helped my husband & I get through a very difficult time. Thankful for his program.Posted on Google Desiree NavarroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Still the best choice; saved and helped strengthen our love, communication and commitment. Highly recommend Paul.Posted on Google Mary MccormackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are glad we took Paul's coaching. We'd been having the same argument over and over and could not get past it. Meeting with Paul got us past our communication barrier. We now are closer and more loving toward each other.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Paul is not a platform, an app, or an algorithm. He is a person with over 30 years of experience sitting across from real couples in real pain — and helping them find their way back to each other.
A marriage counselor typically works within a licensed clinical framework, focusing on mental health diagnoses and therapeutic treatment. A marriage coach focuses on communication skills, practical tools, and relationship patterns. Paul Zohav M.Ed. brings both perspectives — his M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Virginia combined with over 30 years of practical coaching experience give couples the depth of a counseling background and the practical focus of coaching.
There is no fixed timeline. Some couples come for 5 to 8 sessions and walk away with the tools they need. Others choose to continue longer as they work through deeper patterns. The goal is never to keep couples in sessions longer than necessary — it is to give them the skills to handle their marriage on their own.
It works better with both partners present. That said, individual sessions can help one partner develop communication skills and shift patterns in a way that influences the relationship as a whole. If your partner is reluctant, a free discovery call is a low-pressure way to introduce the idea.
Yes. Paul offers marriage coaching online via Zoom for couples anywhere in the United States. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person and offer couples the flexibility to connect from wherever they feel most comfortable.
Paul has developed a set of proprietary communication frameworks over 30 years of working with couples. These include the Yes-And Skill, the Bubble Boundary, the When-and-Wonder method, the Seems and Tends To language, and the Get To vs. Got To reframe. These are not generic exercises pulled from a textbook. They are practical tools couples learn in session and use immediately in their marriage.
In-person in Tucson, AZ and online via Zoom across the US. Over 30 years of experience. Results-focused from session one.
