You have the power to create a
REVOLUTIONARY marriage
that raises the bar!
Our approach
Although we will cover similar topics other premarital counselors will, how we talk about those things will be different.
Marriage "advice" often reinforces unhelpful/untrue stereotypes, sexism, and sends conflicting messages (e.g., marriage is great! ...but still a drag at the same time).
You are not going to hear that from us. We LOVE our marriage and know the power of transformational relationships and teamwork!
We believe relationships that THRIVE are relationships where partners work towards authentic intimacy, are accountable to each other, provide safety and stability, embrace courageous vulnerability, demonstrate mutual respect, and move towards wholeness. We believe marriage is a partnership where both people share power equally, co-lead, and serve together, side by side.
We will invest time together relearning what it means to be fully human in a world that constantly asks us to deny our humanity. We have found (both personally and professionally) that the conscious or unconscious decision to conform to sexist roles, stereotypes, and formulas often restrict true connection and authenticity.
Together, we will explore how to build a marriage that truly liberates oneself and others in the midst of a cultural scripts where power-plays, manipulation, and unhealthy dependency have become the norm.
For Christian couples, we can also incorporate faith-based components to explore God's original intention for marriage before sin and hierarchy entered the world.
