We Didn’t Write This Book Because We Have a Perfect Marriage
May 25, 2026We Didn’t Write This Book Because We Have a Perfect Marriage
We wrote it because we know what it feels like to struggle, drift, react emotionally, miscommunicate, and wonder how two people who genuinely love each other can still feel disconnected at times.
And after years of counseling couples, leading marriage events, walking through our own refining seasons, and watching the culture slowly redefine love, we felt God continually pressing one message into our hearts:
Strong marriages are not built by accident.
They are built intentionally.
That message eventually became:
The Intentional Marriage
A Christ-centered guide designed to help couples move beyond surface-level relationship advice and begin building marriages rooted in:
- emotional health
- spiritual intimacy
- healing
- intentional habits
- communication
- forgiveness
- covenant love
- personal responsibility
- and lasting connection
Because the reality is:
most marriages don’t break overnight.
They drift.
They slowly become shaped by:
- unaddressed wounds
- unhealthy patterns
- emotional exhaustion
- busyness
- resentment
- silence
- distraction
- and living unintentionally.
And yet…
we’ve also seen something incredibly hopeful.
We’ve seen marriages heal.
We’ve seen couples reconnect emotionally.
We’ve watched walls come down.
We’ve watched forgiveness restore what people thought was gone forever.
We’ve seen husbands and wives rediscover friendship, trust, intimacy, and purpose again.
Not because they became perfect…
…but because they became intentional.
Why We Created the Early Access Experience
As we prepared to launch the book, we realized something important:
This message was never meant to simply be read.
It was meant to be lived.
That’s why we created:
The Intentional Marriage — Early Access Experience
This is more than early access to a book.
It’s an opportunity for couples to begin intentionally investing in their marriage now — before habits drift further, before resentment hardens, and before emotional distance becomes normal.
Inside the Early Access Experience, couples will receive:
- early access opportunities connected to the book
- intentional marriage tools and resources
- guided encouragement
- practical next steps
- relationship-building exercises
- spiritual growth tools
- exclusive marriage content
- and access to what we’re building next through The Intentional Way
This experience is designed to help couples move from:
reacting → responding
surviving → connecting
drifting → building intentionally
We Also Have Something New Coming…
As we’ve worked on this launch, God has continued expanding the vision beyond just the book itself.
We are currently building:
The Intentional Marriage Challenge
Mind. Body. Spirit.
40 Days of Intentional Connection
This challenge is designed to help couples create intentional rhythms together through:
- marriage connection
- mindset renewal
- physical stewardship
- spiritual growth
- communication
- prayer
- emotional health
- date nights
- and practical daily habits
Because healthy marriages are built by healthy, intentional individuals.
And transformation doesn’t happen through information alone.
It happens through awareness, honesty, and action.
This Isn’t About Becoming a Perfect Couple
One of our favorite lines from the book says:
“This isn’t about becoming a perfect couple. It’s about becoming one.”
That’s truly the heartbeat behind all of this.
Not perfection.
Not pretending.
Not performance.
But intentionality.
Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts — but it’s also one of life’s greatest opportunities for growth.
And whether your marriage is:
- thriving
- struggling
- rebuilding
- disconnected
- newly married
- or simply in need of intentional focus again…
…we want you to know:
there is still hope.
