Welcome to The Intimacy Edge
We are expert business, relationship, and intimacy coaches committed to helping entrepreneurial couples build thriving relationships that fuel great businesses… while bringing more spice back to your sex life.
This is who we are and why we do what we do…
Hi! we are Marie and Adam
We are relationship, intimacy, and business coaches who have been married for over 20 years, worked together and built businesses together, and now help entrepreneurial couples strengthen the relationship that fuels everything else.
But before that, we nearly lost it all…
We were just kids when we met (weren’t we adorable?).
And in our first years together, after the novelty of a new relationship wore off, we quickly learned how to navigate significant challenges in our lives and businesses.
We faced challenges with addiction and recovery…
We faced challenges in our careers…
We faced challegnes in our family…
And all of that put strain on our relationship, but ultimately we powered through, dividing and conquering, not knowing that we were just hanging on by a thread.
Then in 2020, the perfect storm hit…
The family business Adam was running was losing money and facing insolvency. Then, Covid hit and threatened to shut us down…
And then the worst part. Our 13 year old daughter developed a devastating and life threatening eating disorder that doctors called the worst they had ever seen.
And that nearly broke us.
In the midst of the chaos and our grief, we made a decision…
Instead of letting these circumstances destroy our marriage, we decided to take control of our relationship and make it priority #1.
And that changed everything.
Over the course of the next few years, we put more effort into systemizing our relationship in the same way as we would systemize our businesses, with the goal of strengthening our connection.
The result: We turned our relationship around, building a 10/10 connection that fueled success in our business and our family… all while having the best sex of our lives.
And we’re happy to say that both of our kids are thriving now.
That became the foundation of the SPARK Framework, the operating system for entrepreneurial couples.
Today, we serve those entrepreneurial couples, helping them to strengthen the relationship that fuels everything else.
About Marie
I'm Marie Hill, a Somatica-trained intimacy and relationship coach and cofounder of The Intimacy Edge.
After a career in real estate, I stepped back to focus on my family. In that season I ran into something I hadn't expected. Within all the chaos, and trying to fit in to a traditional life, I felt an emptiness and a longing that I couldn't explain. What I'd actually lost touch with was my own desire, the parts of myself I'd learned to keep quiet so I could fit in and be accepted.
A lot of people are living a smaller version of themselves for exactly that reason. Not because something is wrong with them, but because somewhere along the way they learned that living true to themselves and wanting more wasn't safe.
Letting go of shame and getting curious about my own desire changed everything for me. My confidence, my marriage, my sense of direction. That turn is what led me to become a student of the science of desire and train as a Somatica coach.
And that’s the work I do now with individuals and couples, helping them get curious about their own desire so they can build stronger, more honest relationships. With a degree in psychology and training in Somatica, today I'm an intimacy and relationship coach, and alongside my husband Adam, cofounder of The Intimacy Edge.
Outside of coaching, I'm a two-time Ironman finisher, a black belt in karate, and I’m still chasing adventure, living the abundant life I guide others toward.
About Adam
I'm Adam Hill, a business and relationship coach, international keynote and TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and cofounder of The Intimacy Edge.
I bring a unique perspective to entrepreneurship, leadership, and relationships, having spent more than two decades inside my family's fourth-generation, century-old company. As CEO of that company, I led a dramatic turnaround from near insolvency to a thriving, sustainable nine-figure enterprise. Under my leadership, the business achieved record-breaking profitability, cultural health, and strategic clarity, positioning it for generational success.
With degrees in psychology and business, along with my vast experience working with personal transformation, relationships, and business, I have lived expertise and understanding of the dynamics of relationships and business. I have a passion for helping entrepreneurs implement proven frameworks that strengthen both.
Beyond the boardroom, my story of personal transformation, from an unhealthy non-athlete to an Ironman World Championship qualifier, underscores my belief in the power of systems, structure, and mindset to achieve extraordinary outcomes. Today, I equip owners and entrepreneurial leaders to rise above the chaos, implement operational excellence, maximize value, and position to scale, transition, or sell. My mission is simple but profound: to help entrepreneurs build stronger and healthier companies, build mind blowing relationships, and secure generational freedom.
What Makes Us Different?
We are the only married relationship and business coaches that have built a proven system to strengthen your relationship, business, AND sex life. Most business coaches won’t touch the relationship… Most relationship coaches don’t talk about the business… And neither have the real conversations about sex.
We are experts on all three.
Having lived through our own relationship and business transformation (along with having the education and credibility to back it), we are perfectly equipped to help growth oriented couples build the life together that they truly desire at their core.
How We Work With Couples…
Our systematic approach to business and relationship coaching is all about strengthening the five parts of the SPARK Framework: Safety, Play, Alignment, Rhythms, and Kaizen. Our approach has two intentional and concurrent modalities:
Implementation: This is where we help you implement all the tools of the SPARK Framework. This happens on a fairly rigid schedule to get you on track from the start and keep you growing and scaling. Adam leads the facilitation of these half to full day sessions.
Relationship Lab: This is where the real work together happens. Marie works with couples and individuals to practice the specific tools to strengthen connection and intimacy. This is more fluid and custom coaching based on the specific needs/challenges of each couple.
Additionally, our clients will have opportunities to find community with other clients, should they choose to.
Why This Exists…
We help entrepreneurial couples strengthen their relationship while building a thriving business and sex life. It all starts with a phone call…
SPARK is the framework that we have built from our own experience turning around our marriage, our businesses, and our intimacy. It’s built on the foundational principles and philosophies of the greatest relationship and business experts in the world, and distilled down to the critical set of tools that lead to lasting positive change.
