David Haastrup

Marriage Coach | Conflict De-escalation Strategist

David is the Co-Author of A Couple's First Ten Years, host of the Reconnected Marriage Partners Podcast, and a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator.

Drawing on more than 16 years of marriage, over a decade of leading teams and de-escalating conflict in high-pressure healthcare environments, and years walking alongside couples, David developed the CALM Method—a practical framework designed to help spouses break exhausting argument cycles so they can enjoy more connection, understanding, and peace at home.

"Working with David transformed the way we handle tough conversations. Through his guidance, we’ve learned how to communicate more effectively and embrace the vulnerability needed to be truly transparent with each other. His support and encouragement are invaluable for any couple building a strong foundation."
