“We’ve all heard the adage, “opposites attract.” My husband and I are a living testament to that truth. Although we are extremely different individuals, which has been the root of many of our challenges, we love each other immensely. A love that has allowed us to continually overcome our differences.

However, these differences have not come without conflict and battles. Years ago, we were at a point that we constantly argued, struggled to understand each other and were unable to communicate in a healthy and productive way. We knew we wanted to fight for our vows and the commitment we made before God. So, we sought guidance with Christa Hardin through a referral of a friend.

We started working through her RELEASE program which allowed us to understand each other and differences more accurately, allowing us to communicate our needs more effectively by recognizing our diverse communication styles. We learned two vital lessons that has been a bedrock to dealing with issues big and small since: allowing ourselves – individually and as a couple – to rest, and the ability to grant grace to each other in our differences.

Over the years of work with Christa, we have learned what makes the other person “tick,” how to have more compassion, share more meaningful communications, and how to satisfy our spouses Love Languages. Marriage is hard, and it’s been a tremendous blessing to have a little help to get us to a healthier place.”
