Summary
It's hard to discern (or even admit) if we are obsessed.
So here's the definition:
"an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind."
Is your marriage an obsession?
Or is God's will an obsession? (And your marriage is an important part of God's will for you.)
I encourage you to consider what God's will is for you in this next season.
It's all about priorities.
If God is your first priority then everything else falls underneath.
He puts all of our lives into perspective.
Marriage shouldn't put all of our lives in perspective. It must be God first, then we can rightly serve our spouse well.
I want to invite you to rightly obsess over God's will and put marriage in its proper place so that it's healed and somewhat on "autopilot" so you can get on with God's will for your life.
Listen in to understand more about what this means for you.
(I have an exciting announcement included in our conversation today, I'd love for you to hear it!)
Love,
Belah
PS - If you're in a really hard place or even a really great place, I encourage you to get on a Clarity Call.
Maybe (as a gent emailed me today) your marriage is a 10, but you feel you need to take this course because YOU need to become the man/woman your spouse needs, then we'd love to help.

A recent grad shared: (we try to never reuse testimonial quotes in multiple emails jfyi)
"I've grown a lot spiritually, I had thought that I had always been a pretty good Christian...but realized that I was very selective in when and how I followed God's word. I feel a lot closer to God, and now realize that I can't really do marriage well on my own and truly need Him.
The program was great! It so aligned with what I needed...
If people seem stuck, don't hesitate to push...I know we should take that initiative ourselves but sometimes a spark or catalyst can help.
I really believe in what you're doing...it's the best program out there… and think this program can really help a lot of people."

| 0:39.2 | 2023 happening. |
| 0:41.3 | So I don't know what that means in your life. |
| 0:43.0 | Maybe that means extra holiday parties or maybe that means buying gifts for people you love. |
| 0:49.6 | Or maybe it isn't a whole lot of traditions and it's just a lot more downtime and just reflecting. |
| 0:56.6 | Or maybe it's all of the above. |
| 0:58.6 | Not sure. |
| 0:59.2 | But I really love the season of, yeah, about December is when I really like to just spend time reflecting, |
| 1:14.3 | pressing into God's will. |
| 1:15.9 | What is God's will? |
| 1:32.4 | And so as a marriage professional, if you will, I want to talk about whether or not we're obsessed with marriage or God's well. |
| 1:37.9 | I think it's a really important conversation to be had, and I was just talking to somebody I care very much about. And she was like, you know, before Delight Your Marriage, I was obsessed with my marriage. |
| 1:45.2 | I mean, I was all about the perfect marriage. |
| 1:47.8 | And yet her marriage was really, really suffering for the amount of decades she spent obsessing over it. |
| 1:58.2 | And so it was really fascinating to be thinking about, wait a second, |
| 2:02.7 | how do we flip the whole thing upside down? So our obsession is God's will and our marriage is |
| 2:10.7 | not. And that non-intuitive pursuit turns into a healthy marriage along the way. |
| 2:18.9 | All right, let's dive in. |
| 2:29.3 | So if you're in a coaching program or have been, you know that we start out the coaching program calls the same way every time. |
