Intensive Testimonies from October 2011

[JoelandKathy]

This Intensive was a benchmark!

 

8 couples... for the first time ever!

 

One time we had 8 couples but two were there for repeats.. as the husband's were "repeat offenders!"

 

We limit the Intensives to seven couples.. but this time, it just happened this way... a couple registered for October, then re-secheduled for November, then after we filled their spot, they asked if they could change back to October.

 

So far, every couple is doing great!

 

We could end up with all eight couples having long term miracles!

 

Here are the reports:

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time has really shed light on many feelings that I have had and not really known why or where they have come from. It has answered questions of why I have not been able to bond and shown me areas in my life where I have been abusive that I did not recognize as abuse. These issues were not only brought to light, but the remedy to these issues and the path to healing were clearly laid out in such a way that did not bring condemnation but was presented in love. Thanks so much for your ministry, Joel and Kathy.

 

Sincerely,

 

John M of John and Leslie

 

 

 

Get Here! Do It! Do Not Delay!

 

I have had 25 years of frustrations -

 

You have answered questions that I have been searching for and I now have hope! Where my marriage was a zero before, I can see it getting better.

Guys, thank you for how you put yourselves out there. You are such an example of how God gets glory when he shows himself strong in our weakness. By his grace Amy and I will get there.

 

I know my beloved has been so blessed and freed by the word of your testimony and the power of the gospel in your lives. I had no idea how the critical spirit I’ve harbored has devastated Amy. If she hadn’t put her cute little foot down, I too would now be a poor lonely man. Thanks again for being available and useful tools in the hands of the Master craftsman.

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

 

I was dreading coming to our intensive because I thought it would be emotional torture, reliving all our painful history. I was so wrong! Joel and Kathy made the intensive fun and enjoyable and we learned so much. The books, forum and phone calls are great, but there were many areas I needed more clarification. The intensive provided that and really helped me understand “The Big Picture.’’ The prayer time with Kathy’s Mother In-law was a very special, encouraging time on Saturday. Also, I came to love the folks we met and came away feeling like we’d made new friends.

Thank you so much for providing this marriage intensive! Even after reading the books, my hope for my husband to “Get It” and change was really low. Listening in the small setting to you all explaining the “why’s” of his actions, and the “how’s” of what to do to bring change brought huge hope to me. There are reasons he acts the way he does, and reasons I react the way I do. I now feel we have and will be able to effectively utilize the tools to create an OHM!! What a Change!!! What a relief!!! Thanks again!!

Joel and Kathy,

 

Thank you for a wonderful life changing weekend. Our marriage has been deeply impacted. I now see so clearly the selfishness in my life towards Susan. I look forward to the process over the next few weeks to three years as we create an OHM.

 

With The Deepest Gratitude

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

 

This weekend intensive was miraculous! I have never seen such dedication, motivation, love and honesty. Kathy and Joel are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! They flow together to simplify complexities of marriage, using biblical direction and using the Word of God to break down traditional teachings. They are two awesome servants of God and so free and full of love and compassion.

 

We thank and bless you Kathy and Joel,

 

Love Lara of Lara and Fitz

What this weekend has meant to me? Rescue-

 

I was at my end, too tired to go on. Kathy said “The Calvary is here!” Helping me to feel and help me get going. They provide support when we have struggles.

 

Support, support, support

 

I love you both! Thank you!

I want to thank you for sharing with us. Being willing to share your past dysfunctions with us, gave us the courage to be able to share and deal with ours. And to know that my dreams and feelings through the years were actually real and true.

Joel and Kathy,

 

Thank You for accommodating us in your intensive marriage course. I know it was part of God’s Plan. I just want to express a few pointers that I am taking with me from this class.

 

I am open to unlimited possibilities. I will focus on the good- Faith and love of our marriage. My husband is the emotional source of my life. My husband is the key to enough oxytocin being released in me; and to be a healthy woman I must be able to receive from my husband. I know that my life forward will be better with my husband and it would impact our children and I will be around to see my children’s children.

 

In His Presence- Ann Soomar (of Ann and Victor)

 

First I must compliment you guys, Kathy and Joel, on the great job that you are doing. In a very much needed ministry today. There is so much wonderful information that I received. Our transformation to an outrageously happy marriage has already begun. To mention a few things that impacted me most is the information about Oxytocin and Cortisol.

 

Arrested Development is another Topic that helped me understand where the problems lie and how to address them best. As I leave today I am reminded that my wife is the woman of my dreams. Thank you Joel and Kathy for helping me become the husband of my wife’s dreams.

 

Love,

 

Victor Soomar (of Victor and Ann)

This seminar has been a life blessing, I am so glad we came! I learned so many helpful and interesting ideas. This ministry is a true God send. I believe we now have the information and tools to finally build an OHM. Thank You So Much.
