Marriage Maintenance

Marriage Maintenance is the regular, intentional care of a marriage—creating space for conversation, reflection, and shared rhythms that strengthen connection over time. It’s not about fixing what’s broken, but about investing in what matters so marriages can continue to grow, deepen, and remain strong.

When we talk about Marriage Maintenance, we’re talking about something very simple and hopeful. Just like a vehicle needs regular maintenance to run at its best, marriages do too. Strong marriages don’t happen by accident—they’re built through routine investments.

When couples give their marriage regular, intentional attention, those small investments lead to a deeper connection and lasting strength. Marriage Maintenance is about caring for your marriage before there’s a breakdown—so it will now keep growing and thriving.

Working with Chris and Karla on maintaining our marriage has transformed our relationship from good to truly great. We already had a healthy foundation, but we knew there was more room to grow. Through thoughtful questions that challenged and encouraged us to know each other on a deeper level, they helped us see that God’s vision for our marriage was even greater than we imagined. Now, we are more united and purposeful than ever. We’re committed to keeping our marriage strong through “marriage maintenance” and will never stop investing in it.

Trent & Mallory Wilson

Marriage mentoring with the Wilsons has truly been one of the greatest gifts and blessings to our marriage. Through the Marriage in Focus retreat, we learned the value of having a couple a few steps ahead of us who pour into our marriage, ask intentional questions, challenge us to grow, and encourage us as we walk together and with the Lord. Meeting with our marriage mentors quarterly has become one of our very favorite rhythms of the year, and we look forward to it every time we get together! A year later, and we see the true impact this mentorship has shaped our love for each other, our communication together, and having our eyes more focused on Christ.

Jared & Rachel Jordan

We have truly loved our Marriage Maintenance experience! Meeting with a couple who are ahead of us in life has been incredibly encouraging and grounding. They help us feel normal in the challenges of our current season, while still pushing us to grow. They’ve walked with us through how to stay connected in the busyness of parenting a one-year-old, how to spiritually feed ourselves, and how to work through disagreements with grace. We look up to them so much, and it has been such a gift to have a godly marriage intentionally pour into ours.
