4 Habits of a Joy-Filled Marriage
What’s the secret to a happy marriage? Surprisingly, it’s not healthy communication or conflict resolution skills; it’s actually the size of the marriage’s joy gap. The joy gap is the length of time between moments of shared joy. When the joy gap gets bigger, problems are more likely to overwhelm you, resentment creeps in, and you start to feel distant and alone in your marriage. When the joy gap is smaller, you regularly feel connected and happy, problems feel manageable, and your marriage becomes a reliable source of joy.
Join us to discover four habits that boost joy and re-train your brain to make joy your default setting. You’ll learn new skills including how to:
- return to joy more quickly after disconnection
- create stronger bonds and elongate times of happiness
- boost your enjoyment of physical and emotional intimacy
Find out what your marriage looks like after a little work and a whole lot of joy.

Naked Marriage
Having a “Naked Marriage” isn’t what is sounds like. It means being naked emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. Join us on this 10-week journey as marriage experts Dave and Ashley Willis show you how to undress all the misconceptions our culture has used to cover God’s original, beautiful design for marriage and rediscover all marriage can be.
Upset the Vows
Upset the Vows is a video-based marriage course that will walk you through some tips, tools, and resources that will allow you and your spouse to be closer than you’ve ever been before. Allow Tim & Juliet Ross to take you on journey based on over 24 years and counting of their own marriage that will help you and your spouse make it through whatever life may throw at you. Don’t give up, don’t quit, and don’t become part of the statistic; you can have a 100% successful chance at a great marriage if you don’t quit. This multi-week journey culminates with a fun, mass vow renewal ceremony!
Love Like You Mean It
You’re being lied to about love. Love is presented as a thrill ride of emotions, brain chemicals, even lust. We’re encouraged to settle for a cubic-zirconia version of love when there’s a diamond at stake. We’re led to associate love with “I like the way you make me feel.”, but we can end up with, “When I stop feeling this way, I’m out.”
Join Bob Lepine as he pulls us back from the Top 40, dreamy novels, and rom-coms. Instead, he’ll help us dive into how God defines and displays true love: the love our souls crave. This 10-week adventure includes a free assessment for both you and your spouse to learn your relationship’s strengths and areas for growth.
