DIY Marriage Retreat
Rebuild the foundation of your relationship, restore your marriage, and rekindle the romance.
My husband and I have been married for almost 27 years. Meaning, we've now been married longer than we've been single.
I was 16 when I met Colby. We were high school sweethearts. He was 15. I was about to start my Senior year, he was going to be a sophomore.
His birthday is late, mine is early. I'm 15 months older.
We dated through some crazy times and had to fight to continue dating. But, we persevered, stuck it out, got engaged on my 19th birthday and married a few weeks after I turned 20.
Until we met some road blocks.
Everything came to a halt and my entire world shattered when Colby left me with two small children in January of 1999.
For 2.5 years I spent my days wondering what was wrong with me. I dove into self-help books and church.
I knew I needed to "fix me" so that I could find love again.
It wasn't easy. But, even after filing for divorce, we fought our way back.
No divorce. Complete restoration. Forgiveness.
Over 20 years later, we've grown our family with three more children, started a business together, and planted deep roots.
Through forgiveness, we've welcomed personal-growth, found purpose in our pain, and learned humility. Most of all, we've prioritized our marriage, learned to communicate better, and compromised more.
Now we want to pass along what we've learned to you! We want our marriage trials and triumphs to help serve others.
