Recent Notes from Couples

My husband was a hard sell, but on the way to the second day, he gave me a kiss (which was no longer common) and said “thank you for this”.
Both our sets of coaches were amazing and complemented each other beautifully. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

July 2023

The weekend went well. We had a lot of fun and had a good time talking things through with the coaches. They were open with us and shared so much of their story.

July 2023

I truly loved it! Best decision I ever made. I miss our coaches already! With prayers and everything we learned I am very hopeful we can make it work. ❤️

June 2023

The weekend was incredibly fruitful and meaningful. We ripped up our divorce papers and are moving back in together. We don’t have enough words to express our gratitude.

May 2023

It was definitely intense but needed. The intensive was really great, we got a ton out of it and really enjoy our coaches, they are fantastic at what they do. Our marriage has already benefited from the intensive and I firmly believe we will continue to repair our marriage and be stronger for it.

May 2023

Last weekend was super. I enjoyed the sessions very much, learned so much from our coaches and the other couples. Actually, I wish that we had the tools that we were taught, at the beginning of our marriage. Those tools are valuable and essential! I plan to use many of them. I feel more hopeful and also am realistic that we have a lot of work to do.

May 2023

The weekend was wonderful, insightful, truly transformative in pointing both me and my husband to the truth of what God calls us to in marriage. The coaches were super caring. They created space for us to feel safe, which was helpful, especially for my husband. There was no inkling of judgement as we and the others shared our stories.

The facility was comfortable, and despite the length of the sessions, it was never boring… all in all, a lovely experience and exactly what we needed.

Thank you for all you do and for your help with our marriage and getting it back on track.

April 2023

We both enjoyed the weekend intensive. We have learned a lot, took home a lot and use a lot of what we had learned daily. While we know that things aren’t fixed overnight, both of us feel that we are moving in the right direction. Thanks to you and everyone for your continued prayers in strengthening our marriage.

April 2023

I honestly can only say God is so good! Although this has been one of the hardest years of our lives, it wasn’t without purpose. It just reaffirmed that God is going to use this for good! My husband and I are on very different paths when it comes to our spiritual journey but as I humble myself to be more Christ like I truly believe that God is so intentional in what he does. I truly have loved my husband when he was unlovable and honestly I have been the same at times. As a team we are fully committed to living the rest of our lives to serve our Lord and honestly bringing our children along. How beautiful to live out our faith for our children, I truly believe it speaks volumes to be able to pick up the broken pieces and show them what God can do! You guys have been a light in the darkness, thank you from the bottom of my heart, because a broken marriage has monumental effects on so many and I truly feel this on so many levels!

We are so incredibly blessed to have gotten to attend this past weekend!

April 2023

While I am sad that my husband and I are in a situation where we felt this Intensive was necessary, given the situation. I am very happy we were able to attend. I found the weekend very impactful and informative and I believe that it strengthened our decision to stay together and O believe that we can come out of this stronger. Every day is a struggle right now, but you all have provided me with a perspective that was hard to see before attending that I believe I desperately needed. I am hopeful.

April 2023

The weekend was certainly intensive, but I left with a lot of things to think about and a stronger faith in God. Our coaches were wonderful! They were both an inspiration to all of us there. Thank you again for your communication and assistance in setting up the weekend. We plan to begin the follow up program this weekend.

April 2023

I loved our coaches and thought they did a fantastic job. I left feeling very inspired and motivated, and have a plan to reconnect with God. I’m praying that we will commit to the 15-week follow up program, so we can continue to work on our marriage one baby step at a time, and want to thank everyone for their support.

April 2023

I would like to first thank you for starting this program. I didn’t know something like this existed. I’m so glad it does. My wife and I were in a really terrible place, and we both thought there was no other hope. Not only have you given us hope, but you have provided both of us the tools needed to grow stronger together. I would not change a thing about the program. It is well structured and well managed. Thank you again for saving our marriage.

April 2023

It was a very pleasant experience. We enjoyed our time there and we learned quite a bit.

April 2023

Even with all our problems, I went into the weekend with hope. Now after the weekend, I have even more hope. We have a lot to work on and I think….I feel…that we both are willing to put in the work. The curriculum was really good and the coaches were outstanding. I can’t say enough good about both the coach couple and support couple. It was truly amazing how they made us feel comfortable to be there and truly wanted to help us. It is a comfort to know we reached out to you all and now we are not alone in this battle for our marriage.

April 2023

I have to say this was the best decision I could have made. I cannot begin to tell you how much this has helped our lives. I came with no expectations and returned with so much hope and also a whole new husband…he has learned so much and has been applying his knowledge and keeping me accountable. I can’t say enough about The Marriage Hub. It’s still early, and we have a lot of work to do, but I believe if we stay consistent and follow the program, with God’s help we will get there. You guys have changed my life. I am so grateful to have met and been blessed by this team…thank you 🙏

April 2023

The weekend was just what we needed. We went in believing that communication was our problem and it turns out that the difficulty in communicating was a symptom of something else. We learned things about ourselves as a couple and as individuals that made us understand why we were experiencing difficulties. We have set a weekly time together to press on with this journey of strengthening our marriage. In the midst of the storm it can feel hopeless and with our newfound understanding of underlying issues we not only have hope but are at peace in addressing those issues together. The intensive was such a blessing and we are so grateful for everyone involved in helping us get back on track with our marriage.

The entire team at The Marriage Hub is absolutely wonderful and thank you just doesn’t seem like enough for everything you all have done for us.

March 2023

It was an enlightening experience, and I hope the lessons learned can help things. All of the lessons are “pretty common sense” as in I think we all know them but hearing them, and the coaching really drives them home and made me realize how much I was ignoring them. I thank God for you program!

March 2023

“It was an awesome experience. The coaches were great! The Marriage Hub Manual was very helpful and allowed us to understand the ingredients of marriage. Thank you for allowing us to get this experience!”

“We found the intensive extremely helpful and exceeded our expectations. We have been using some of the techniques shared with us during the weekend and found them very helpful.”

“This weekend I experienced a miraculous shift in my perception and emotions towards my husband. I did not believe a 20 hour intensive could lead to a dramatic reawakening of my respect and regard for my husband. Neither did I ever imagine that we could leave Sandy Cove with a distinct softening of both our hearts towards each other. Prior to the intensive we barely spoke anymore and we were doing our best to avoid one another in our home. I was miserable and thought that separation was inevitable. All of that changed over the course of the weekend. I know that we still have challenges ahead and that our relationship will not be healed or restored overnight but at least now I think we are both overjoyed to have powerful tools to help us start the journey towards rebuilding safety and trust. We have been reminded that all things are possible with Christ in our lives. Please continue to pray for us as we embark on our new journey together especially in relation to establishing safety and trust as we go forward.”

February 2023

o say our weekend at The Marriage Hub was life changing would be an understatement. Things are by no means perfect or “fixed” but I truly have faith our marriage is going to one day be stronger than ever. The coaches, and the relationships we built with the other participants are something I will never forget. We continue to do our heavy lifting and follow-up program. I have noticed such a difference in our communication, openness, and quality time together.

Without a doubt, I can say with 100% certainty, The Marriage Hub and our coaches have saved our marriage. There is still a lot of work to be done but I am looking forward to doing it and making it a lifelong commitment.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

“Exciting, overwhelming, and scary. We are both so fragile that we almost need a marriage ’sponsor’ to calmly guide us on what to do first after praying. It was a wonderful clinical class on how to do things right and a couple exercises of practical application but I kind of feel like we went to pilot training in a weekend and have just been given a plane. Oh boy! We came home and looked at each other with such love, compassion, and fear in hurting each other, that we just stared at each other. I am certain this program will work for us and should be in every county in every state of the country. I believe is equally as important as Alcoholics Anonymous, or any of the 12 step program.”

January 2023

“I learned so much about myself and about my husband. We both grew up in homes with both parents, however, bad role models on what a marriage is supposed to look like. Our coaches were PERFECT for us-they were gentle souls, their words encouraged me in many ways. The couple we were paired with was perfect for us. We are still in touch with the other couple.

My husband and I started to use our conversational models already and so far, it is successful. I did not get frustrated, yell, and shut down, he did not ignore, yell, and or swept it under the rug. We both stayed present without allowing distractions to come in between us. It felt good to move on after our conversation and not hold on and or feel like it was unresolved.

I am so grateful to have learned and adopted all that I learned this weekend through God’s teaching. Learning about foundation and what God wants us to be like in our marriage was perfect. I was able to walk out of there with my head up and releasing that weight I was carrying on my back.

I would recommend this to anyone, hands down! You definitely need to be receptive and come with an open mind plus a humble heart because it gets intense at times. Everyone there is so respectful, gentle, and professional.”

January 2023

It went really well (better than expected). I feel like we hit a reset button….but, now the hard work starts in trying to stay on that trajectory. We have a long way to go….keep praying for our endurance to work through the tough stuff!”

January 2023

My experience was wonderful – definitely a blessing. I was extremely blessed by The Marriage Hub, it is exactly what me and my hubby needed. The principles, tools/lessons, and insights definitely opened my eyes which created awareness, lots of understanding, and hope for my marriage. I am extremely grateful for our coaches leadership, vulnerability, humility and the respect they have for each other and for the others that were in the room. I knew that I was in a safe and trusted place.”

January 2023

“Thanks for checking in, we really needed this and we both feel better and are moving forward. Our coach was an amazing couple and I believe they saved our marriage. We will be sharing with other couples in need in the future.”

January 2023

“Hello, the weekend was awesome exactly what my wife and I where looking for and needed. I can’t wait to begin doing the heavy lifting over the next few months as we begin to repair and rebuild our marriage. I appreciate all your help with this process.”

December 2022

This was the best thing we could have ever done! There are no words, but thank you! I have fallen so in love with my husband. He sees me and that is a blessing! Everyone should attend this!

We were blessed with amazing coaches! Wow! Please pray that we continue on this path the right way with all the tools we’ve been given! I am so excited maybe for the first time in a long time!!

December 2022

“The weekend was very informative. Our coaches were amazing. The teaching was clear, and the conversations were great. I like that there is a guide to follow and the notes that we have taken were like creating our own Love Dare book.

Now is the next step and the hard part. We need to put into practice what we have learned and know how to use it to come together and reconnect. If there is one thing that would help us it is to pray that we will know how to use the tools that we were given to us and continue to grow towards each other with God as our foundation.

Thank you for this great opportunity!”

December 2022

We continue to do our heavy lifting and are seeing good results. These results are a slow process but a positive one. We continue to learn about each other’s needs and expectations for our relationship.

December 2022

“The weekend went better than I could have hoped. I know this is just the beginning and there is a ton of work to do on both of our parts, but there is hope again, for both of us. I think seeing our fear cycle spelled out on paper has and will continue to make a big difference. Using heart talks has been helping both of us to feel safer in opening up to each other and sharing what is bothering or hurting us. It’s only the 2nd day back home, and while we haven’t had any conflict yet, we both know it is inevitably coming. However, I think we are both hopeful that the tools we were given will help us resolve the next one instead of adding it to the huge piles we have previously swept under the rug. At the least, we are both committed to doing the work to break our fear cycle that drives us to such a horrible place. I am looking forward to the heavy lifting so that we can continue doing the work to rebuild our marriage.

“We had a phenomenal weekend!!! Thank you so much for your part in making it a success! I thank you for your MANY kindnesses! Praise the Lord we are now sharing our bedroom again and working toward restoration! We are so grateful to you all because we never could have gotten to this point doing our therapeutic “piecemeal” efforts. Thanks again to you and everyone for all you do. We are SO appreciative of The Marriage Hub ministry and the loving and caring people behind it. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!! God is SO GOOD!!! Thanks for everything!”

October 2022

“The weekend was life changing for my husband and I. We miss the coaches very much along with the other two couples. It has brought us closer to each other, but to God as well.

I thank you and your program for all the support because we wouldn’t have made it in our marriage if it wasn’t for them. We appreciate each one of them, the program, the help of the scholarship, the other couples, and God who made our weekend a success for my marriage and my family.”

November 2022

“The Marriage intensive was definitely a God sent, perfect timing and the coaches were such a blessing. We didn’t know what to expect but were given the opportunity to learn so much about ourselves and each other, even us as a couple who have been together for 40+ years. A special thanks to the couches, so much knowledge, wisdom and practical insight. We highly recommend going. We have been sharing and applying some of the insight gained.”

September 2022

“Thank you for the prayers and follow up. It was a good weekend and very enlightening. Some challenging conversations but very necessary for us to move forward! Highly recommend this! Can’t wait to dig into heavy lifting with my spouse and see results!”

August 2022
