The Truth About Why Your Marriage Feels Impossible

Maybe you can't remember the last time you had a real conversation that didn't end in an argument.

Maybe you're wondering if you married the wrong person. Maybe you're sleeping in separate rooms and living like strangers under the same roof.

You didn't get married to become roommates. You didn't say 'I do' to live in constant tension, walking on eggshells around the person you once couldn't wait to see every day.

Here's what we know: This isn't how God designed marriage to be. And it doesn't have to stay this way.

Our Coaching is based on:

Real testimonies of what others are saying about us:

Frequently Asked Questions:

❓ "How is Christian marriage counseling different?"

Christian marriage counseling recognizes that your marriage isn't just a legal contract or emotional partnership - it's a covenant before God. That changes everything about how we approach helping you.

In our sessions, we don't just give you communication techniques or conflict resolution strategies (though those matter). We help you understand what God says about marriage and how to apply biblical principles to your specific struggles.

Here's what that looks like practically: We use what we call the 5 Marriage Mandates - Covenant, Commitment, Communication, Connection, and Calibration. These aren't just nice concepts. They're the actual framework that saved our own marriage back in 2012 when we were on the brink of divorce.

We pray with you. We point you back to Scripture. We help you see your spouse the way God sees them.

And we believe that when God is at the center of your marriage, healing isn't just possible - it's what He wants for you.

❓ "Do you offer premarital counseling?"

Yes, and honestly, this is some of the most important work we do.

Most engaged couples are excited about the wedding but haven't really talked about the marriage. You're making plans for one day instead of preparing for a lifetime together.

In our premarital counseling sessions, we walk you through the 5 Marriage Mandates so you start your marriage with a solid foundation. We talk about the hard stuff that nobody wants to bring up during the engagement - money, intimacy, conflict, family expectations, faith differences.

We also help you understand marriage as a covenant, not just a commitment. There's a big difference, and knowing that difference before you say "I do" can save you years of frustration later.

Think of it this way: You wouldn't build a house without a blueprint. Why would you build a marriage without one?

❓ "What does couples therapy cost?"

Here's the honest answer: It depends on what you need.

Some couples need intensive work over several months. Others just need a few sessions to get unstuck. We're not going to charge you for services you don't need, and we're not going to try to fit your unique situation into a one-size-fits-all package.

That's why we start every relationship with a free strategy session. We'll talk about where your marriage is right now, what you're hoping to accomplish, and what kind of support makes sense for you. Then we'll walk you through our pricing options and payment plans so you can make the best decision for your family.

You can see all our pricing and payment plans in our booking section below. No pressure, no sales pitch... just an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit to help you.

❓ "What if my spouse refuses to participate in counseling?"

Don't worry - you can start the restoration process even if your spouse isn't ready yet. We've helped hundreds of couples where only one partner began the journey.

Often, when one spouse starts applying Biblical principles, it creates positive changes that naturally draw the other spouse in.

❓ "Do you offer online sessions or do we need to meet in person?"

We offer both! You can work with us online from anywhere in the world or visit us in person - whatever works best for your schedule and comfort level.

Most of our clients find online sessions just as effective and much more convenient.

❓ "Who will we be working with in our sessions?"

Many of our sessions include both Vincent and Valerie together, giving you both male and female perspectives on your marriage challenges.

As we've grown, we've also trained select marriage restoration specialists in our 5 Marriage Mandates™ system to ensure you receive the same high-quality care and Biblical approach that has helped countless couples.

Whether you work directly with us or one of our certified specialists, you'll receive the same proven framework, personalized attention, and dual-gender counseling perspective that makes our approach so effective.

❓ "How much does it cost and what payment options do you have?"

We offer several program options to fit different needs and budgets. You can see all our pricing and payment plans in our booking section below where you can also schedule your free strategy session.

❓ "How is this different from traditional marriage counseling?"

Traditional counseling can take years and often focuses on managing problems rather than solving them.

Our 5 Marriage Mandates™ framework addresses the spiritual root causes of marital breakdown, leading to faster, lasting restoration.

Plus, we've personally lived through near-divorce and restoration.

❓ "How long does it typically take to see results?"

While every couple is different, most of our clients begin seeing positive changes within the first few weeks of applying the Marriage Mandates.

Complete restoration typically happens much faster than traditional therapy because we address root spiritual issues, not just surface symptoms.

❓ "Is this approach only for Christians?"

While our approach is based on Biblical principles, we've helped couples from various backgrounds who are open to learn God's design for marriage.

However, our methods work best for couples willing to embrace these Biblical principles only in their relationship.

❓ "Are there situations where your approach might not be the right fit?"

While we deeply care for every individual and respect all people, our Biblical approach to marriage restoration works best in specific circumstances.

Our services may not be the most effective fit if you identify as LGBTQ, are currently dealing with an untreated addiction, are experiencing physical abuse (please get to safety and call 911), or are presently involved in an extramarital relationship.

This isn't about judgment - it's about ensuring you get the most appropriate help for your unique situation. For these circumstances, we'd encourage you to connect with specialized professionals who can better address these specific needs first.

We believe every person deserves love, support, and expert care tailored to their situation.

❓ "Do you accept insurance?"

We don't accept insurance for our marriage restoration services.

Because our approach focuses on Biblical coaching and our proprietary 5 Marriage Mandates™ framework rather than traditional clinical therapy, insurance typically doesn't cover this type of specialized marriage restoration work.

However, we do offer flexible payment plans to make our services accessible. You can see all our pricing options and payment plans in our booking section below.

Many of our couples find that investing directly in their marriage restoration actually costs less than years of traditional therapy sessions - and gets results much faster.

❓ "What if we've tried marriage counseling before and it didn't work?"

We hear this all the time! Many couples come to us after spending months or even years in traditional counseling with little to show for it.

Here's the difference: most counseling focuses on managing your problems or improving communication techniques.

Our 5 Marriage Mandates™ approach addresses the spiritual foundation of your marriage - the root cause of most marital breakdown.

When you align your marriage with God's original design, everything else begins to fall into place naturally. We've helped hundreds of couples who thought they were "hopeless cases" after failed attempts with traditional therapy.

Sometimes you just need the right approach, not more of the same approach.
