Vincent and Valerie continue their conversation about couples therapy.

The last time we talked, you mentioned that we were both in the same sandbox and drew lines. However, you mentioned that we should actually be building castles. Can you finish talking about that?

Those vows that we made before God are meant to be taken seriously. We can disagree, but that’s part of the better and worse.

The Sand

Sand is a tool that can be molded and shaped. God gave us that within our marriage, we have to discover, build, mold, and shape it. We’ll have a successful marriage.

When I was in a relationship, I moved to a separate corner whenever disagreements occurred. Instead of working through the disagreement to get back to building unity, I moved to a separate corner.

People are starting to contact us now to do that for them, and we have gotten the curriculum together so people can actually answer and talk about and write down talk with the spouse about some of the things that we can help them with.

Marriage Mentoring Sessions

You can use marriage counseling or couples therapy to manage and overcome issues in your marriage.

My husband and I are not licensed counselors, but we share what we know, have experienced, and have overcome.

Vincent and I are not licensed counselors, but we know that we are both called to this area.

We have come up with marriage mentoring sessions as a huge step towards resolving conflict with your spouse if you’re not ready for couples therapy.

Whatever happens inside of Marriage Mentoring Sessions stays inside of Marriage Mentoring Sessions, and we want to be able to use our experiences, the Gospels, and all the testimonies we have to help you in your marriage.

You can reach out to us individually, Vincent, reach out to my wife Valerie Woodard, and we will get your message and respond as quickly as possible. There are no dumb questions, only questions you don’t ask.

As my wife said, we’re not licensed therapists or counselors; we want to please God and help people. We want to use our testimonies for your triumph, and we hope you can get past whatever you are struggling with.

Transparency

I feel closer to my husband now than I ever did before because we learn from each other, talk to each other, and spend time together, and we go into that knowing that we can resolve our issues and that he doesn’t desire to hurt me.

When we came to couples counseling, we shared some things going on with us.

The person there to mediate asked us how we felt, and we gave solid answers. Once we were able to determine if our reaction was justified, we were able to communicate again.

We talked about how the more you communicate, the less difficult conversations are because you have ongoing conversations with one another.

When you get to know your spouse, you can unwrap the package and learn everything about it. Once you figure out how to love someone and let that person love you back, the rewards will keep coming.

I talked with a couple about how long they had been together and how they made it work. I was thinking about another couple who had been together so long but barely knew each other and barely spent time with each other. To live with and love someone, you must build a covenant with them.

I don’t know what you’re suffering through, but I do understand that people desire to be appreciated, desired, listened to, and shown affection.

If you are going through one of those times, I urge you to contact someone who can offer you some tips and advice. This will help you get out of that funk.

Communication

When you get to know your mate, you explore their personality traits and discover why they are the way they are. Then you can change how you relate to them so that you don’t harm or hurt them.

We can go on so much more, and this video will be two to three hours long. However, you can leave a comment below or look us up.

Vincent and Valerie are somewhere on that page somewhere. You can send them a DM with any questions you have or if you need somebody to pray for you.

Prayer

Amen, Heavenly Father Lord, we love you, adore you, thank you, and pray for the strength to love each other. Also, we pray for a deeper relationship between you and that person right now. God, we thank you for your wisdom. We want to continue to offer our voices and talents to help other couples.

God, we thank you for that and ask to touch the heart of the spouse resistant to couples therapy. We ask that they agree to attend therapy for their own sake. We also ask that you keep them safe from hurt, harm, sickness, disease, viruses and divorce.

God loves humble people and will bless and keep you and your family. You can even bless your relationship by being humble.
