Send us a textWhen was the last time you went away with just your spouse? No matter the answer, that question brings up many thoughts and emotions. Whether it’s uncertainty on how to make this a priority or excitement for the next getaway. Friends, we get it. Getting away is not an easy thing to do, but it is a significant priority to have in your marriage. That sacred time alone makes space for relaxing, connecting, and recharging, not to mention dreaming, laughing, and snuggling. Join us as we explore why getting away at least once a year, just the two of you, needs to be a priority and bring to light the challenges many couples face with getting away together. Also, stay tuned for a special event announcement later this year with our good friend J Parker from Hot Holy HumorousStill Becoming OneFacebookInstagramAldrich Ministries

Send us a text"We are so different," "We married so young," "I don't even know myself" These are all statements we hear from individuals and couples who are in desperate places in their marriages.

We take a hard look at this crazy dynamic and give some ideas on how your marriage can survive the 7-year itch! Hint it isn't about 7 years. It is about finding growth and change in your marriage, not outside of it! Let's work on building up ourselves and our spouses so that they will find new hobbies, not new spouses!Still Becoming OneFacebookInstagramAldrich Ministries
