Marriage! It's on everyone's mind and is something most people will seek to enter into. And rightully so! It's a beautiful institution that [can] bring with it many wonderful blessings and benefits. Conversely, it [can] also lead to much destruction and years of heartache.

Surveying the latest data and statistics reveals some unsettling trends. For instance, many marriages struggle needlessly for years, sometimes decades.

Others grow cold and stagnant and fail to reach their fullest potential. Worse, countless marriages end in bitter separations and divorces. Have you ever wondered why that is? Do you ever wonder how two people who were once madly in love and the strongest of allies can grow cold, hateful, and malicious towards each other? Do you wonder if this will be your reality?

Maybe it already was according to your own family of origin. What if I told you it didn't have to be this way? What if I told you it is possible to get to a place in your life where you know who you are, what you want, how to go after it, and sustain it? I'm not talking about wishful outcomes that seem too good to be true.

Rather, I'm talking about a journey of preparation designed to prepare you to enter into the right relationship with the right person for the rest of your life. While no one can offer any gurantees for the future, what I can offer is a stronger, more prepared you to enter into a healthy relationship, explore the possibility of marriage, and ultimately step into a marriage where the odds of success, survival, unity, and joy are in your favor. To do that though, you have to be willing to set out on a journey, which is what I'm inviting you into.
