As we prepare for a new week, let's pause for a moment & check in! How are you doing today?

@James McKinney , we're so glad you've joined the Covenant Couples Circle! We must say, we chuckled a bit at your answer that your wife sent you😄 We love your vision of building a marriage rooted in the Spirit of God. That's exactly the kind of foundation we're passionate about helping couples strengthen. We're honored to have you (& your wife) here and we pray you'll discover that the fellowship, biblical truth, and conversations here will encourage and strengthen you personally & spiritually. As you settle in, please take a few minutes to explore the Calendar, Classrooms, and Resource Library so you don't miss anything. And since you're one of the men, we'd love to invite you to Heart of Men Exposed (H.O.M.E.) for men-only, every Tuesday at 7:00 PM EST. It's a time for honest conversation, and brotherhood as men grow together and hold each other accountable in Christ! Everyone, help us welcome James McKinney to the MarriedU family!

What a beautiful time we had together during today's Patience of a Helpmate meeting! Thank you to every wife who showed up, shared, encouraged one another, and helped make today's Galatians 5 discussion so meaningful. There is something special about growing alongside women who are pursuing God's heart for their marriages. One of the exciting decisions we made together is to begin our very first Patience of a Helpmate Book Club! 🎉 Our first book club selection is: 📖 The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian Our discussion begins Saturday, August 8th! To prepare for our first discussion, please: ✅ Order your copy. ✅ Read Chapter 1 before August 8th. ✅ Complete any reflection questions or worksheets found in the Helpmates classroom ✅ Come ready to share, engage, and learn together! 🔗 You can order your book here👉🏾 https://a.co/d/07sxRAoi If you haven't joined a Patience of a Helpmate meeting yet, we'd love to have you join us! Every Saturday, we set aside intentional time to invest in our relationship with God, our marriages, and one another. Our new book club is simply another way we'll continue growing together. Who's joining us? 🙋🏽‍♀️ Drop a 📚 in the comments once you've ordered your copy! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I'm so looking forward to this reading!! LuvYa, Paula🤓

Monday's Healing Class was a beautiful beginning. There were moments of honesty, tears, and reflection—and we want to thank each of you for showing up with an open heart. Today, we simply wanted to check in with those that attended because healing has a way of bringing things to the surface. You may feel hopeful, emotional, tired, or a little triggered. Whatever you're experiencing, know that it's okay. Give yourself permission to process without rushing the journey. If Monday's class stirred up emotions that feel overwhelming or you're finding yourself triggered by something that surfaced, please don't carry it alone. We're here for you. Feel free to reach out to us privately if you need prayer, encouragement, or would like to talk it out! Sometimes healing simply needs a safe place to be processed. So, let us know in the comments how are you doing today? We'd love to hear from you. Even if your answer is just one word, check in below so we all is well. Also, please check the attached link entitled Processing Triggers. Again, we're honored that you trust us with your heart & excited about your healing!! Much Love, Johnnie & Paula
