This is me wrestling the large tree branch Hawkeye grabbed today when he stepped over it on the trail. He managed to wrap his dreadlocked tail around the thing. I hopped off and he just stood and waited for me while I untangled him, then I dragged the branch off the trail… many horses would have spooked at the noise or the sight.

He was calm.

I know this peace. God has taken me from a place of despair and grief to peace and joy – and now it takes quite a bit to rattle me or make me sad.

I want that for you.

Is 2025 the year you change your marriage? It’s possible the despair you feel now is, while seriously not awesome, but a detour – His ways are higher than our ways.

What would it mean to you to not be triggered or tipped over by other people’s behavior or your circumstances? You are THEN in a position of influence when you are what we call, “bulletproof” or “unoffendable.”

It would mean real change for your marriage.

You may feel like you’ve done everything, and you have probably done a lot, but it’s likely you haven’t been through our Marriage Intensive – so like me, maybe good things in the wrong way or timing…

AND WITHOUT the proven 20:1 positive inputs that are necessary to change it all.

Makes a huge difference.

Most of the people we get have been through the “problem of the week” counseling approach that just hurts both people.

Most of the time that fails. 

We don’t do that.

We are different than literally everything out there. It’s six months of changing your marriage using a PLAN that has been both TIME TESTED and proven to work.

We incorporate emotional, relational, spiritual, and even physical HEALING into the process.

We don’t take everyone, btw. I can’t in good ethics work with people I don’t sense He is calling into this with us at the time. BUT – I will give you an hour of my time so we can see if it might be a possibility for you and your spouse.

Don’t file for divorce or separate or spend one more day feeling hopeless without talking to me. Email me “hope now” and let’s set a time to talk.

Love to you,

Nina
