Weekend Marriage Intensive Testimony:

 

 

My marriage had no hope of survival without this ministry. Within the pages of Joel and Kathy's books were the answers I needed to keep my marriage going strong. We ordered the DVD intensive which included an over the phone consult and temperament analysis for us. We had even more revelation of why our marriage was failing and how to get it back on track. However, it was the intensive that made all the difference.

 

 

You might ask why an intensive is necessary if the information remains relatively the same. For one, each intensive is led by God, so He will custom design what examples are shared, what topics are covered in depth, and what questions will be asked through Joel and Kathy so your individual intensive will meet your personal needs. Also, Joel and Kathy are right in front of you so you can get additional clarification on something you may not understand. Plus there is nothing like the move of the Holy Spirit in that room as you are plowing through hundreds of man hours of research and information in just a few days. The message and prayer from Elizabeth and the private session with Joel and Kathy are unique and invaluable to every marriage restoration.

 

 

This intensive experience kick started our restoration into high gear and we are on a journey from one of the worst marriages out there to an incredible testimony of how God can breathe life into us and our relationship. I am excited to see how we will go above and beyond the call so we can be used of God to minister the truth to others who so desperately need it.

 

 

Thank you joel and Kathy for paving the way and being willing to invest your time and energy into us and countless others. May you be richly blessed and your reward great.

 

 

Don't miss out on this opportunity - it will change your life!

What Joel and Kathy's intensive did for me

 

God has never forsaken my marriage the way I have. God has never abandoned my family the way I have. God has only shown my wife that He loves her with the deepest way possible. Since the we watched the DVD intensive first we went to Daytona expecting God to do more for our marriage. We came expecting God to move us to a higher level of love for one another.

 

At the intensive I had the opportunity to meet some truly amazing people. Joel and Kathy have pioneered a path of success for my marriage much like the pioneers of the west did for our country. They carved the sculpture of marriage the way God truly intended marriage to be seen. I believe this AGAPE love was that of the days of our ancestors generations ago.

 

I am grateful for their leadership, advise, and guidance for the past few months and I invite any couples whom need some Amazing Council in their relationship with each other to attend the weekend intensive. Trust me by saying that if it can change my life with my family, your life can be transformed too. It takes determination and true encounter with God to see your miracle unfold. Be true to God, your wife, your family, and yourself and join the train of successful marriages around the globe.

Update August 16, 2011

 

Just wanted to say I love you SOOO much HERO. You are so romantic and sexy! If this is what "recovery" feels like, I cant wait until OHM!

 

I also want to add something we talked about after our wonderful "anniversary" celebration Sunday night. I said to HERO how sad it is that men don't just do things the easy way when it comes to LM. They can either DEMAND LM and spiritually abuse their wife by citing scriptures about her body being his etc, etc, OR he can romance his wife and she would then be more than willing to do whatever he asks. HERO said thats where the joy in it is, thats why dating is so attractive (and thus enticing to a man to get into an affair) it is all about the excitement and romance that leads to sex. Its not ALL about the sex, its fun to romance a woman and win her over. In the end, he is still getting the sex he wanted, but why not enjoy the process?

 

I think this is true in any situation, not just LM. If a man wants a clean house, he can bless his wife to the point that she is so full of energy and oxytocin that she is a cleaning machine, or he can throw a fit or stew silently about how miserable she is making him. If he wants to go to a football game or something similar, He can lovingly invite his wife to join him, which she may accept or decline, or he can whine and complain about how he never gets to do ANYTHING because of his ball and chain. It just seems so simple to do things the easy way to get what you wanted in the first place rather than make life a living nightmare for everyone.

 

I am learning that with my kids. I can ask them to clean up their toys nice or make a fun game out of it or I can scream at them about being slobs. Which is more effective? It is not manipulation to do this, its INITIATION. Manipulation is getting what you want in an abusive way, initiation is getting what you want in a selfless, sacrificial way. Simple, yet strangely so difficult.

 

i believe once a man can work through his AD and M-S issues, it becomes fun again to pursue and romance his spouse just like when they were dating. I am glad that HERO is over himself and is really getting into being the man of my dreams. I am happy to bless him in whatever ways he would like me to because he has been so sweet.

 

There are times I can tell things aren't going "his way" and it is tough for him to work through, but for the most part he just does whatever is needed at the time. He sees it as his job to be a husband and does his job well, just like he does his REAL job. Things don't always go perfectly just like at work, and sometimes things are tough and stressful, but he doesnt just quit, he finishes the job and moves on.

 

I am so grateful for how far we have come, and I can only see us making more and more progress in the future. I am so blessed!

 

I love you my HERO
