Mental health awareness becomes a gateway to deeper relationships with God, others, and ourselves when we approach it with honesty and the right resources.

• Recognizing when you need outside help doesn't mean you're broken
• Therapy provides insight and vocabulary for feelings we struggle to articulate
• Understanding the difference between self-care and self-maintenance is crucial for emotional wellbeing
• True self-awareness helps identify unhealthy patterns like passive-aggressiveness and avoidance
• A therapist with shared values can strengthen rather than replace faith
• Learning to process feedback without taking it personally transforms all relationships
• Creating a support system with various trusted advisors provides different perspectives
• Prayer and therapy work together—sometimes miracles happen immediately, sometimes over time

If you're feeling called to explore therapy, please reach out in the comments. We're happy to pray with you or recommend our therapist who is always taking new clients.

Marriage requires not just finding the right person, but becoming the right person by drawing closer to God and developing the character He desires in us.

• God teaches you to seek Him first before seeking a spouse
• Your future spouse doesn't complete you—only God completes you
• God builds your character through developing the fruits of the Spirit
• Self-control is particularly crucial in both dating and marriage
• Healing from past wounds prevents bringing baggage into marriage
• Submission means serving each other, not just following orders
• Many people meet their spouse while serving at church
• Spiritual alignment happens when both partners pursue God individually
• Focus on your own growth rather than trying to fix your potential spouse
• God isn't withholding a spouse—He's preparing you to be one

The journey from marital bliss to the brink of divorce isn't a sudden leap—it's a gradual drift marked by subtle warning signs that many couples miss until it's almost too late. After celebrating 15 years together, we're pulling back the curtain on the year we nearly ended our marriage.

Small phrases can become relationship poison. For years, during arguments, I would say to Pierre, "Maybe you married the wrong person." Though I never doubted he was right for me, I questioned whether I was right for him. After a decade of hearing this, he began to believe it might be true. These seemingly innocent words created deep fractures in our foundation.

The emotional withdrawal was perhaps most telling. Physical touch, once a primary love language for Pierre, became uncomfortable. "I'm fine" became our mantra—a dangerous lie that masked deeper problems. Communication broke down to the point where every conversation felt like navigating a minefield—even simple questions about daily tasks could explode into conflict.

Our challenges were compounded by cultural differences as an interracial couple, the struggles of marrying young, and surrounding ourselves with people who normalized divorce. Pornography, criticism, and resentment further eroded our connection.

What saved us? Two critical elements: individually seeking God when we couldn't pray together, and professional therapy that helped us escape the conversation loops we couldn't break on our own. Our therapist knew our personality types and gave us practical tools to rebuild what was broken.

Today, we're passionate about helping others recognize these warning signs before reaching crisis point. If you're seeing these patterns in your relationship, there's still hope. We'd love to pray with you, connect you with resources, or simply be a listening ear as you navigate your own journey. Remember—even a marriage on the brink can be restored to something stronger than before.
