Just doing what I am called to do!
Kingdom Marriages are on the rise. Godās design for marriage is not and has not ever been for it just to be a āpiece of paperā and when society devalues it as such, it takes away from the sacredness and importance of marriage:
1. A reflection of Christās love for the church
2. As a medium for true companionship
3. A vehicle of purpose
4. Security for generational impact and legacy.
This is why I am here.
š©š¾āš«To teach - expose individuals and couples to concepts that they may not have been otherwise exposed to.
šÆTo coach- to guide, direct and, provide preventative guidance to couples so they donāt fall into foreseeable and avoidable traps.
š£ļøTo counsel - to assist in unearthing the root causes of issues that could be detrimental to their personal and marital success.
I get itā¦
Getting engaged is EXCITING! As soon as you get engaged, the first thing people ask is, āWhen are yāall getting married? Whatās the date?ā This pressure can cause us to get consumed with the wedding planning process and not actually prepare for marriage.
Communication issues are not solved by a wedding. Neither are trust issues or purpose misalignment.
My suggestion is for you to get some premarital guidanceāwhether it be counseling, therapy, mentorship, or a combination of all three.
Donāt be afraid to postpone the planning or the wedding until you feel comfortable and your nonnegotiables have been resolved.
You can get a recover costs on vendors you book for the wedding, but you can never get a recover the cost of marrying the wrong person or at the wrong time.
