Relationship Coach: Arlee Butterfield
For more than twenty years, I had the privilege of serving families through ministry as a Youth and Family Minister, Lead Pastor, and Marriage and Family Minister. Throughout those years, I walked alongside individuals, couples, parents, and children as they navigated life's challenges, strengthened relationships, and pursued healthier family dynamics.
In addition to my ministry experience, I am certified as a Marriage Coach, Parenting Coach, and Children's Life Coach. My passion has always been helping people develop the skills and confidence they need to build strong, healthy relationships.
I am also a father of three daughters, and many of the lessons I share come not only from my professional experience but from my own journey as a husband, father, and caregiver.
After twenty amazing years of marriage, my best friend passed away in 2025 following a courageous battle with glioblastoma. Walking through that season profoundly shaped my understanding of love, communication, resilience, grief, and the importance of healthy relationships. While it led me to step away from vocational ministry, it also inspired me to continue serving others in a new way.
That calling led to the creation of Relationships of Peace.
Today, I work with couples, individuals, parents, and children to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, build trust, and develop practical skills for lasting relationship success. My coaching approach combines proven relationship principles, real-life experience, and compassionate guidance to help people move from frustration and disconnection toward understanding, confidence, and peace.
Whether you're seeking to improve your marriage, strengthen family relationships, develop healthier communication patterns, or help a child build self-confidence and emotional resilience, my goal is to provide encouragement, practical tools, and a safe place for growth.
I believe healthy relationships don't happen by accident—they are built intentionally through communication, understanding, and a commitment to growth. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on that journey.
