STRONG RELATIONSHIPS ARE A KEY TO THE KINGDOM

"Honestly, without your help I don’t think we would have made it through the last year. Our marriage is probably the healthiest it has ever been. Of course (like everyone else!) we still have a long way to go but we marvel at what God has done in us through our times with you. Thank you."

The Kingdom of God is inherently relational. From the Holy Trinity, which embodies the perfect family in the Godhead, to the broader Christian community, relationships are the core building blocks of God's Kingdom. In the same way, strong marriages form the foundation of a thriving Christian community. These relationships are not just partnerships; they are an embodiment of God's love and serve as a testament to His presence in our lives. By prioritizing strong, faith-centered relationships, couples can contribute to the ongoing growth and impact of the Kingdom.

Couples who invest in their relationship, prioritizing communication and understanding, are better equipped to face life's challenges together. By focusing on their marriage as a ministry, they become ambassadors of the Kingdom, spreading the message of God's love through their actions and words.

Marriage Preperation

Stuart and Liz, experienced marriage counselors, understand the significance of preparing couples for a lifelong commitment as well as supporting those who are already married. They offer insights and tools developed over 25 years of marriage, pastoral experience, and divine revelation. These tools help soon-to-be-weds establish a strong foundation, centered around God's presence and mutual understanding.

Their sessions focus on enhancing communication, managing time effectively, and fostering deep connections. By providing couples with practical skills and spiritual guidance, Stuart and Liz empower them to build marriages that withstand the test of time and reflect the Kingdom's relational nature.

Sessions and their contents can be tailored. They often include the unique and particlar tools that Stuart and Liz have developed from working with dozens of couples and usually incude;

• Types of time and how to manage them. Understanding the different types of time and how to manage them is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship. Couples must balance quality time with God, each other, and individual pursuits. By prioritizing these aspects, they can create a harmonious and fulfilling life together.
• Arguing well. Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but how couples handle disagreements can make or break their marriage. Arguing well involves addressing issues with grace, understanding, and a willingness to compromise. By approaching conflicts with a focus on resolution and growth, couples can strengthen their relationship and deepen their understanding of one another. Stuart and Liz's sessions teach couples how to communicate effectively during disagreements, fostering a supportive and loving environment even in times of tension.
• Levels of communication. Communication is the lifeblood of any successful relationship. Couples must learn to communicate on multiple levels, from everyday conversations to deeper, more meaningful exchanges. By fostering open and honest communication, couples can build a strong foundation of trust and understanding. Stuart and Liz's sessions emphasize the importance of active listening, empathy, and vulnerability. By practicing these skills, couples can create a safe space for open dialogue, allowing them to connect on a deeper level and address any challenges that arise.
• Leaving and cleaving. The Biblical concept of leaving and cleaving is essential for building a strong marriage. Couples must establish their own family unit, independent of their families of origin. This process involves setting boundaries, prioritizing the marriage, and creating a shared vision for the future. By focusing on their relationship and shared goals, couples can build a strong foundation for their new family unit. Stuart and Liz help couples navigate this transition, offering guidance and support as they establish their identity as a married couple.
• Making money work for you, not the other way around. Financial stress is one of the leading causes of tension in marriages. By learning how to manage money effectively, couples can create a stable and harmonious financial future. Stuart and Liz's sessions teach couples how to budget, save, and invest wisely, ensuring that money becomes a tool for growth rather than a source of conflict. By working together to achieve financial goals, couples can strengthen their partnership and create a secure foundation for their future. Financial harmony allows couples to focus on their relationship and spiritual growth, free from the burden of financial stress.

Stuart and Liz offer informal couple-on-couple sessions, providing a safe space for couples to explore core issues and differing perspectives.
