From The Authors
We thought about titling this workshop/workbook “How to Stay Madly in Love for the Rest of Your Lives” but decided some might misinterpret “Madly” and say, that’s why we’re here! So instead, we settled on how to “Strengthen Your Marriage” where we aim to guide you in building a successful marriage that is deeply connected to God and to each other—a covenant marriage, with the ability to navigate conflicts in a way that heals and strengthens your love and connection with each other. Unlike a contractual marriage, which hinges on performance, expectations, and entitlements, a covenant marriage is built on selflessness, love, and respect.
In our own imperfect but deeply connected marriage, we understand painful disconnection because we experienced it.
We recognize how easily disagreements can escalate into disconnecting conflicts. Using scripture, personal experiences, and practical wisdom, we have outlined a Six-Step approach that helps couples connect in ways that heal and strengthen their bond, especially during times of conflict. These steps are designed to transform challenges into opportunities for growth, a stronger connection, and a deeper love for each other.
As you work through this workbook, we encourage you to do so slowly and thoughtfully, with honest transparency and a mutual desire to live-connected in a way that heals. Our hope is that you won’t give up on pursuing a successful and joy-filled marriage. The insights and Steps in this workshop/workbook can help you find true happiness and stay madly in love with each other!
With love and blessings,
Tim and Susan Taylor
