Just doing what I am called to do!

Kingdom Marriages are on the rise. God’s design for marriage is not and has not ever been for it just to be a ā€œpiece of paperā€ and when society devalues it as such, it takes away from the sacredness and importance of marriage:
1. A reflection of Christ’s 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.

šŸ‘©šŸ¾ā€šŸ«To teach - expose individuals and couples to concepts that they may not have been otherwise exposed to.

šŸŽÆTo coach- to guide, direct and, provide preventative guidance to couples so they don’t fall into foreseeable and avoidable traps.

šŸ—£ļøTo counsel - to assist in unearthing the root causes of issues that could be detrimental to their personal and marital success.

I get it…

Getting engaged is EXCITING! As soon as you get engaged, the first thing people ask is, ā€œWhen are y’all getting married? What’s 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 guidance—whether it be counseling, therapy, mentorship, or a combination of all three.
Don’t 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.
