Resources to Help Your Marriage
Shawn and I have been married for 21 years. I’m not sure how we made it through the early years other than by the grace of God. Over time these are the resources that we and others we know have found very helpful to growing their relationship.
If you are struggling in your marriage, we want to pray for you. We’ve been there. We’ve dealt with some incredibly hard things together and both of us refer to an early part of our marriage as literally 7 years in hell. It is truly by the grace of God and our faith in Jesus that we even stood a chance to get past those hard days to where we are now.

Learning to take your thoughts captive is one of the biggest, most important battles in gaining victory over your life and your marriage. We need to be covering our spouse and children in prayer daily. Lifting our needs up to God and allowing Him to work through the chaos and mess and give us back something beautiful.
