May often feels just as packed, frantic, and emotional as the holiday season—but without the twinkling lights and peppermint lattes to soften the blow. You’re juggling field trips, recitals, banquets, and graduations, all while trying to stay present for your child’s big moments. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. There’s no prize for perfection—just for being there. So take a deep breath. You’re doing better than you think

Each person completes the assessment individually. Then, they meet with a certified facilitator who walks them through the results—highlighting areas of alignment, difference, and misunderstanding. What makes this tool so effective is that it gives couples something objective to review together. It’s no longer just one person’s perspective—it’s all laid out clearly, in black and white

A marriage weighed down by hurtful words and deeds is like the seed gobbled up by the birds, never having a chance to germinate and bear fruit. When emotional hurt and pain dominate a marriage, the joys of marriage never see the light of day. What are these words and behaviors that are so destructive? What are these 'love busters' that are so harmful to a marriage?

Excerpt:

Marriage, as designed by God, was meant to be a relationship of deep connection, love, and fruitfulness. Adam and Eve’s union in the Garden of Eden was pure and unburdened—free from shame, conflict, and struggle. Yet, after their disobedience, the reality of marriage changed. No longer effortless, it required patience, faith, and intentional effort.

Like the Parable of the Sower, a thriving marriage depends on the soil in which it is planted. Some relationships struggle under the weight of misunderstandings and neglect, while others flourish through love, faith, and perseverance. Even in a fallen world, God’s design for marriage remains, offering couples the opportunity to cultivate a strong, fruitful bond rooted in His wisdom.
