Hi, I’m Craig Holliday

For more than two decades, I’ve worked with couples at every stage—dating, engaged, and married—helping them navigate communication challenges, conflict, and the realities of building a life together. I’ve guided hundreds of couples through premarital coaching and supported many others as they work through the ups and downs of marriage.

What I’ve learned is this: real change doesn’t come from taking sides or giving surface-level advice. It comes from helping people see clearly, take ownership, and approach their relationship in a healthier way.

That’s the role I play.

I’m not here to judge or to “win” an argument for either side. I’m here to help you understand what’s really happening—and give you the tools to move forward.

Married for over 25 years, I bring both lived experience and practical insight into every conversation.

What I believe about relationships

Communication is the Foundation

Most relationship challenges trace back to how we communicate. When you learn how to listen, respond, and express yourself well, everything else begins to improve.

Ownership creates change

Real progress happens when each person is willing to look at what they’re bringing into the relationship. Growth doesn’t start with blame—it starts with ownership.

You’re meant to be teammates, not adversaries

Conflict is normal—but how you handle it matters. The goal isn’t to win against each other, but to work together toward something better.

We are forever grateful for his patience, wisdom, care and love towards us."

"To say that Pastor Craig has been instrumental in our journey would be an understatement. I have come to know and be mentored by him as a young single bachelor in the church prior to even meeting Evadne. It was therefore a natural progression that he became our pastor and counselor during our premarital sessions when my then Fiancée and I decided to take the next step.

As someone who has seen us grow individually and as a couple, it was the easiest and most seamless choice for us to have him as our guest of honor and officiant for our wedding.
