HEARTWORK MARRIAGE

A sacred pause for intentional legacy

When Lexi and I look at each other, we are grateful for a gracious God who has initiated and sustained his faithfulness in our marriage for 20 years. 

Our marriage has grown in awareness and intentionality. 

Those two words - Awareness - Intentionality- are foundation stones in our relationship.

Imagine this picture with us. 

Your life is a river.  There is constant flow happening.  

Feeding into your river of life are dozens of other streams.  

• Kids and grandkids 

• Kids activities, schools, and appointments

• Prayer life

• Work and career

• Health

• Recreation

• Education

• Church 

• Neighbors

• Extended family

• Internal wrestlings

• Finances

• Relationships

• Dreams

• Grief

• Losses

• Milestones

• Vacations… and many more

We’re lucky if we give thought to a few of these streams once in awhile.  I mean, real awareness where we are known.    

Life is so busy.


We are distracted constantly.  


Our distraction leads to stress, surviving, medicating, isolating, exhaustion, doubt, broken relationships, numbing, avoiding, separation, insignificance, questions, deferred hopes and dreams. 




We desperately need awareness and intentionality in our lives, marriages, and families.

 


This is deep work, soul care, spiritual direction, and real-life practical tools for building rhythms and patterns that you will practice for 10, 20, or 30+ years to come.  



To Build A Legacy


Marriages and families are on the line. We need to fight well for this reflection of Christ in our lives. Our children and grandchildren need it. It is our witness to Jesus and His world.

It is not striving.

It is an invitation to spaciousness in our cadence, awareness, and intentionality for crafting a well-ordered way in our marriages. 

It is rooted in Christ.

What is the aim For YOur MarriagE?

Spaciousness to move from "the to do lists" to "being"

Awareness of how to grow in your marriage from the place you are right now

Perspective that empowers the daily rhythms for endurance in your marriage

Attending to God and receving His love

Attend to our souls to be known by God and our spouse

We have put together a week that has resulted from over a decade of regular spiritual practices in our marriage.  

We are going to share what we have done to strengthen our 20-year marriage and what we are doing right now. 

MEET YOUR HOSTS

What is Spaciousness?

What is spaciousness?  

The gift of spaciousness is a moving away from distraction. 

The gift of spaciousness allows us to find awareness in the ways we are living.

Spaciousness brings movement from the "to do list" to "the being." 


How am I breathing? 

Am I looking up and out in life? 

What am I taking in? 


Spaciousness prepares us to mindfully engage God and our spouse. To experience a new level of intimacy and expanse in our relationships. 


Spaciousness looks like slowing down to accelerate. 


Instead of waiting until an emergency or trauma occurs, we must invest now in living a well-ordered life. Spaciousness helps us know now that we need more awareness to build a well-ordered, healthy way of living. 


The time to invest is now, not when there is a crisis. 


Your health is not about a doctor's check-up once a year but your daily rhythms. 


If you want your grass to green up, you don't just turn on the sprinkler when it's brown and dying. There is preparedness and intentionality to care for what is beneath the surface. The soil's health and the root systems are the givers of green grass. 


We will give you the daily rhythms for growth and a healthy marriage.
