The 5 Steps That Wise Wives Are Using To Save Their Marriage And Live Out The Bible's Blueprint For It.

Funny but true story... We met in 1999 in a Seattle nightclub called the "Last Supper Club".  I couldn't even make this story up. That was the real name of the club. Ha! So you can imagine how our life together began...we were not exactly living for God.
We said many times that we’d never get married or have children.
We were living life for ourselves, drinking, partying and wondered, "why do we need a piece of paper to tell us we love each other? We don’t need that!"
 ...BUT God! He got a hold of my heart and I began to pray and work on myself and eventually Mike came around. He quit drinking, I let go of control and now we help save marriages and bring families back together.

We believe in restoring the whole family unit and we've dedicated our lives to helping wives, husbands and families stop the cycles of dysfunction and walk fearlessly in their God given true identity. We're honored that we get to do this.

My heart is working with the wife. I love being able to help women get healed, set free and transformed.

When the wife gets free and finds her identity, purpose and voice, she sets the wheels in motion for God to free her marriage and children from dysfunction.

So do you JUST work with the wife? Or do you also work with couples?

We get this question all the time.

We work with both. Mike specializes in working with the husband and I, Janelle specialize with the wife.

However, we find that 80% of the time it's the wife reaching out for help first.

This was our story and why we specialize in working with the wife.

I tell the wives all the time, don't just do nothing if your husband isn't ready for help...Most often when the husband sees that it's safe for him to change, he will hop on board later. 

You get help for you.
It's not about who needs to change, it's about who's willing to change and we believe the wife has the power to change the marriage. As long as there's one of you that's committed, God can work through you right now to initiate the shift needed in your marriage.
We believe you need to work on YOU first, then your marriage and then the other relationships in your life get healed.
Every couple comes into marriage with their unique set of baggage (individual past traumas, unhealed wounds, and/or unhealthy destructive patterns of behavior) that needs to be healed.

Or, maybe there is infidelity or addictions you or your spouse has or had and you have not been healed from them.

Maybe children along with your careers have become the priority and you've put each other on the back burner and now you feel like roommates just going through the motions of being married.

Or, you can't seem to have an important conversation without it turning into an argument... while the wedge between you continues to grow further and further.

All of  these examples above were part of our story...

The list can be endless but regardless, too many other things are getting in the way of you having a happy and healthy marriage.

You may be reading this right now because you're in a painful marriage situation and you've been praying for a change for a long time, or that your spouse will change…but nothing is changing and you're losing hope. You've probably read many marriage books, attend church every Sunday, pray and read your Bible and keep waiting for it to get better – but still you remain stuck.
Our method is about getting to the root so you can produce new fruit. We walk you through Biblical Principles (with Jesus) that will heal you and heal the marriage so you can have connection, communication and intimacy back in your relationship.
We get to the root of why you’re operating the way you are, why you're going around the same mountain over and over, and why you're stuck in the crazy cycles of dysfunction.

We walk with you, along with Jesus, to go in and heal, restore, and redeem it so you can have a whole new better-than-before-marriage...which then changes every other relationship around you.

Let's get you free so you can be the best husband and wife team that God has called you to be!
