Abundant Life in Marriage
Our vision is to see husbands and wives live in the fullness of their true identities as sons and daughters of God, enabling them to embrace the abundant life Jesus died to give them not only as individuals but also in their marriages (Jn. 10:10). We desire to promote unity in every marriage through the revelation of this identity, equipping couples to break free from every controlling and divisive influence in their life.
Take my hand
And let's walk together
Take my hand and try
It's a long, long road
But we can help each other
Hold on
I know we're gonna find the way home-Russ Taff, Take My Hand
The day my husband and I realized that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together was one of the happiest days of my life! As we drove down the highway one afternoon we were encountered by the presence of God as “Take My Hand” by Russ Taff spontaneously came on. We knew the Lord was preparing us to walk together for the rest of our lives into whatever journey lie ahead. The following weeks and months were poured into preparing to get married and dreaming about our blissful lives together.
We had significant challenges that came up in our engagement, but we put our heads down and worked hard to get through them. I thought they were just little blips in our relationship journey; little did I know that both of us lacked many essential tools and carried a lot of spiritual and emotional baggage that would result in ongoing drama and trauma that would steal life and joy from our marriage for years.
We spent many of those years trying different ways to make our marriage work: seminars, pastoral counseling, date nights, prayer ministry. They all helped to an extent, but nothing ever resulted in sustained breakthrough.

When were precariously close to self destruction, we both had personal breakthroughs.
God began to give my husband greater revelation about his true identity in Christ. As the Lord began to reveal to him WHO he was and WHOSE he was, he was able to be present in our relationship from a place of greater wholeness.
God also began to give me profound insights into how to stand and PERSEVERE in faith for a marriage that was life-giving and thriving, not just surviving, even in the presence of wounding and disappointment. This perseverance paid off as we began to see prayers answered and sustained joy and abundant life in our marriage!
We now have a passion to help other couples discover how to have abundant life in their marriage by connecting them to their true identities in Christ through teaching, writing, mentorship and prayer.

It’s clearly important to resolve anger, but there are 3 times it’s better to “let the sun go down on your anger”.

Spiritual Abuse
What is spiritual abuse in marriage?
“Tell her what you want for lunch. Turn requests into commands. ‘Can you make me a sandwich?’ becomes ‘CAN YOU MAKE ME A SANDWICH.’ It’s not the words; it’s the tone.”-It’s Good to Be a Man FB post by Michael Foster
It is sad to say, but there seems to be a growing movement in the church that is aligning with abusive doctrines wrapped in bows of scripture.
While there are many different forms of abuse, I want to specifically address spiritual abuse in marriage.
