What's Been Happening...
We have been quite busy in this first quarter of 2024. We hosted an EXPLODE BootCamp and have been working with couples with SYMBIS. We are so grateful for opportunities to impart God's Design of marriage on the frontend of couple's marriages. After a meeting with Heart Builder, a couple has learned who created marriage, the TRUE purpose of marriage and how to live out this relationship according to God's Design.
We know the importance for us to continue to develop and grow ourselves as to best serve our couples. During these past three months, we have embarked on a journey of Elevate Academy and Daniels Premiere Coaching program. We will continue these programs through May. The impact and transformation we are experiencing already is providing us new tools for our couples. Praise God!
As always, we ask for your prayer covering as we continue in this calling. Marriage is under attack, and couples need to know the TRUTH (Jesus) about marriage before saying, "I Do." We are passionate to help as many engaged couples as possible to not only say, "I Do" but to help them "STAY, I Do."

WHAT DO YOU WORRY ABOUT?
As we navigate our journey through life on this earth, we often find ourselves bombarded with numerous worries and concerns. Among the most common are issues related to health, finances, our country, children, grandchildren, elderly parents, and marriage. It's undeniable that we live in a fallen world. However, the Bible offers wisdom on coping with worry and finding peace.
We invite you to take a moment to check in with yourself and refelct on your current emotional state. Afterward, we encourage you to slowly read the following verses, allowing their profound meaning to sink in:
Philippians 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
1 Peter 5:6-7, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
2 Timothy 1:7, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."
Now, let's pause and check in with ourselves once more. Do you notice any difference in how your worry, fear, or anxiety is affecting you at this point? Consider the potential impact of incorporating these scriptures into your daily routine. Imagine beginning each morning by speaking these powerful words aloud to yourself, allowing them to set the tone for your day. God's word is indeed powerful; let it resonate in your ears and penetrate your heart.

Spring Cleaning Your Marriage:
Nurture Your Relationship for Growth
As spring breathes new life into nature, it's a reminder to tend to the gardens of our lives. Just as we meticulously pull weeds, feed the soil and nuruture our plants for a bountiful harvest, so too must we care for our most cherished relationship - our marriage.
In this season of renewal, we often spend lavishly on our yards and flower beds. But what about investing insomething timeless - our marriage? Like neglected gardens, relationships can wither if left untended. So, ask yourself: are you willing to invest as much in weeding, feeding, planting, and nurturing your marriage as you would in your garden?
Spring heralds the resurgence of dormant life, yet it rarely happens without intervention. Similarly, our marriages need deliberate action to thrive. Let's address some areas where seeds of discord may lurk:
Communication: The cornerstone of any relationship, effective communication is vital. When left unchecked, communication issues can fester, undermining the foundation of your marriage. (Remember communication is a two-part process.,)
Finances: Poor money management can strain even the strongest bonds. Foster proactive discussions about spending, saving, and budgeting to ensure financial harmony.
Intimacy: Beyond physical closeness, true intimacy encompasses spiritual, recreational, emotional, and intellectual connections. Are your nuruting all facets of intimacy in your marriage?
Time: In a world that constantly demands our attention, carving out quality time for each other is essential. Schedule regular face-to-face moments to strengthen your bond.
Weeds may infiltrate our marriages when we lose sight of intentionality. Let spring serve as a catalyst for revitalizing your relationship. By prioritizing your marriage and taking deliberate action, you can breathe new life into your marriage.
Remember, if we proclaim our marriage as important, we must actively safeguard its viality. Let's embrace this season of renewal to spring clean our marriages and watch them flourish.
