Welcome to Storied Marriages. We are excited to serve couples by helping them explore their stories and invest in their marriages. We invite you to consider joining us on this great journey.
Mark and I have been married for 29 years. In the first half of our marriage we really struggled. We wanted our relationship to flourish and be healthy, but we felt lost. We so desired to deepen our understanding of each other and ourselves, but we didn’t know how. We hated the ways we hurt each other and put up walls, but we didn’t know how to stop.
In that hopeless, desperate place we cried out to God. He answered by gently inviting us to risk looking at our past pain and opening up with real honesty and vulnerability to our friends. Our marriage got healthier only as we deeply explored our stories and trusted ourselves deeply with others. Storied Marriages pulls together the insights and lessons-learned from over 15 years of Mark and I being on this journey of wholeness in our marriage and helping many other couples do the same. We sincerely believe being a part of a Storied Marriages community can do the same for your marriage.
We once had a couple say to us that the best they could hope for in their marriage was not to get divorced. But we know first-hand that God has something so much more beautiful and satisfying in mind for marriages. Our vision is to help each of you to grow in your ability to walk through disagreements, conflict, hurt and struggles in a way that brings you closer together rather than pushing you farther apart. Our vision is to help your marriage be filled with the kind of joy and delight that comes from being deeply known and utterly accepted. We believe God is inviting you as a couple to live and grow into what he made your marriage to be: “The two of them, the Man and his Wife, were naked (fully known), but they felt no shame” (Genesis 2:25 MSG). This has been our own journey. Our prayer is that it will be yours.
May God bless you on your journey.
