August 2011 Intensive Testimonies!

[JoelandKathy]

This week - (WOW) - Eye opener!

 

I was so stuck in myself and my own ways, the ways my dad taught me and the ways his dad taught him. We were just plain stupid (we believed a bunch of lies) when it came to marriage.

 

This week taught me what life is really about; it is about loving my wife and it is about family; to love and cherish, to work together and to be strong together before the Lord.

 

I recommend this intensive to every man and woman alive on planet earth, so that we can live in harmony with our spouses and our future spouses.

 

I've learned that she's my wife, my best friend and together we can take on this crazy world.

 

Thank you Joel and Kathy

 

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

This weekend is a must for every married couple, even if they don't have problems! Learning about how your childhood can affect your marriage was an eye opener!

 

My husband and I thought we were beyond fixing and basically gave up. He went his way and I went mine. After this weekend though, we can take on anything and everything.. excluding nothing!

 

I already see a change in both of us and we are very grateful for Joel and Kathy - They were our ray of hope and now a reality! I can finally look at my husband and say "I love you!"

 

This weekend has taught us to be a team again and I know if it worked for us, it will work for anyone!

 

Thank you so much Joel and Kathy. You guys are a blessing and miracle workers (through Jesus Christ, of course!)

Joel and Kathy,

 

The intensive weekend has been a life saver. I've learned so much about what makes me tick, like the importance of being an initiator of love and kindness. I learned how my behavior and lack of awareness was killing my marriage. I know that I have to boost my sincerity, endurance and maturity in order to save my marriage and family.

 

I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE AN OUTRAGEOUSLY HAPPY MARRIAGE.

 

Thank you,

=====================

 

Joel and Kathy,

 

The marriage intensive gave me a new way to look at seemingly immeasurable problems.

 

Because of the new awareness that we have received, many of the issues, actually ALL of the issues that seemed to permeate our daily lives now feel as if they cannow disappear. We simply lacked understanding.

 

I now feel a sense of Hope and believe that if we continue to use what we have learned, we will have an Outrageously Happy Marriage.

 

Thank you, Rehnieb (of Rehnieb and Speed Racer)

 

==============================================

 

Dear Joel and Kathy,

 

During our Intensive, I learned that I don't have to carry the weight of my past. We figured out my wife was miserable mainly because of my horrible attitude. She wanted me to "smile," but I couldn't. I felt obligated to "deal with the issues in my past." I would stress over our future and refuse to relax and enjoy the present. I felt overwhelmed with any new details or problems. All she wanted was a "smile" and I could not make myself do it.

 

Fifteen minutes into our private session, Kathy gave me permission to let it all go. I never saw it as an option. Joel told me about the effects of Alzheimer's and how people just forget things. So, I just decided to forget. Smiling is not hard. Forgetting and letting go was, but I CAN do this.

 

Thank you,

=========================

 

Dear Joel and Kathy,

 

I was reluctant about coming. I wasn't sure if I even wanted this marriage to make it. I couldn't stand the thought of spending another day with this man. After the Intensive was mid-way thru, I began to have second thoughts- thinking that maybe, just maybe, my marriage could be saved. I am still skeptical, but hopeful now.

 

The information and hope given to us are like the tools a mechanic needs to get a car running perfectly. Now it is up to us to keep that car gassed-up and on the road to an Outrageously Happy Marriage.

 

Thank you, "Sunshine" (of Sunshine and Forrest Gump)

 

===================================

 

Eye opening! I had no idea how upside down my thought process as. I looked at life and my marriage like the church has/had preached for years: "Wife submit to your husband. Do as he says." Boy, that was WRONG!

 

Joel and Kathy present a biblical based, eye opening, life changing course of truth to produce Outrageously Happy Marriages!!!

 

Men - grab hold of the truth! Meet your wife's needs. Heal your wife, heal yourself in the process and live life in an Outrageously Happy Marriage!

 

Husbands, die to yourself. Lay down your life. Rise to life!

 

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

 

Ron (of Ron and Paula)

 

===========================

 

The intensive was a last resort to me and a final hope to wake up my husband on how he was destroying our marriage. My husband had left and was living out of our home for some time, (5 years) fully abusing with no intentions of stopping. This weekend was for him a complete turn around for him and gave me back some power and tools to turn my marriage around.

 

Thank you Joel and Kathy! Without this past week, I know I would be divorced.. that is what I wanted. I'm getting a glimmering hope of wanting to stay and make my marriage outrageously happy with the changes I've seen in my husband.
