What's your God-given marriage PURPOSE?
MARRIAGE REBOOT...
Just the TWO of You & a Proven Process!
We provide all the tools you need
to transform your marriage!
We get more training for a job than for our MOST important earthly relationship! One that's supposed to last a lifetime and transmit our faith to future generations! That why God wants MORE for your marriage! It impacts EVERY other area of your life - your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical well-being are on the line. Maybe your marriage has been time-starved or you were never given the skills vital to success. Whether you're in crisis, struggling, doing okay, or wanting to grow your marriage to next level - we would love to spend two full days mining out what brought you together and still makes you two GREAT! It has simply gotten buried with life's busyness, a lack of examples and godly support!
So, get ready for a very different experience as we shift from the past to your future,
from the problems to the promises & purpose of your marriage! YOUR RELATIONSHIP is unique and made to be a
soft, safe place for you both to land and grow in.
Together we will...
✓ Navigate financial conversations in a healthy way - statistically one of the most common issues in marriage
✓ Design a plan for family and extended relationships that work for both of you as you lean into each other
✓ Create communication for you both to feel seen, heard, and understood in the various aspects of life
✓ Explore your career and calling in a new way to be more aligned and inspired in each season of life
✓ Discover how to parent in unity by bridging the gap in parenting styles to leverage differences
✓ Connect spiritually in deeper, more meaningful ways as you pursue your life together
✓ Devise a vision for your life together and your marriage purpose
Our 2-day marriage intensive process is designed for today’s busy couples! We consistently hear couples say they experienced MORE breakthrough and hope from their Marriage Reboot than the years of traditional counseling and other programs.
A Marriage Reboot encourages couples to focus on transformed thinking, leading to better outcomes and a higher quality of life and marriage. Spend MORE of your time loving one another, connecting, and dreaming about the future together. Couples don’t have to fight. We provide simple ways to grow your connection and create a judgment-free zone for your home where each spouse feels accepted, safe and loved. Focus forward and live into the future you desire with your spouse.
What we feed grows, and what we starve dies…
so, we commit to helping you feed the right thoughts and create healthy habits to thrive!
Research shows that couples who share a common vision or purpose live peacefully and prosper together!
