A weekly date night is your built-in resistance to your marriage’s inevitable drift toward loneliness.
Everyone knows it’s essential; most couples want it, but few do it. In fact, over 90% of the couples we see for counseling are not spending regular time together.
As necessary as weekly date night is, it isn’t easy to consistently put it into practice. And I would argue, not because of a lack of desire but because of a lack of priority.
Think back to your level of responsibility when you were dating your spouse compared to your level of responsibility now. For most, I imagine you ..read more

Having a lot of money doesn’t eliminate marriage problems, but money problems can definitely lead to some serious problems in your marriage. Money issues are one of the leading causes of marriage problems, so it makes sense for couples to be proactive in getting on a budget and getting on the same page on all things related to money.
Many couples live paycheck to paycheck and need some extra cash to make ends meet. Getting an extra job, or even a different job, might be an option, but for many, it isn’t. Where can you find some extra cash? You might be surprised what shows up if you consider t ..read more

The promise you made to your spouse on your wedding day is the most significant promise you’ve ever made. And I believe fulfilling that promise (or the lack thereof) will significantly shape your marriage.
As sincere as you probably were when you promised “I do” to your spouse, your sincerity has likely been tested in the following years. Why? Fulfilling that promise (and any promise) can be challenging at times. Keeping your marriage promise requires prioritizing your word over your circumstances. It requires sacrifice, commitment, embracing delayed gratification and valuing the recipient of ..read more

These tips and techniques were made up of 4 Communication Patterns, 7 Conflict Tips, and the decades-old Speaker-Listener Technique. And I found that the couples who put these communication skills in to practice dramatically improved their relationships.
Yet there was a l ..read more

The research overwhelmingly shows that investing in marriage counse ..read more

One of God’s goals for your marriage is for you and your spouse to be better together than you were apart. God makes you better together by weaving you together and making the two of you one flesh. Look at this short passage in Genesis 2:24 that explains God’s process for accomplishing this:

and they shall be one flesh.”
