Summary

It's so easy to feel the disconnect in your marriage and wonder if things can ever truly align.

Stu's story is a beautiful reminder that transformation is possible.

Stu grew up feeling socially awkward and unsure about the purpose of marriage. After marrying his wonderful wife Linda and after 20 years of marriage, he still found himself asking, "How do I understand her?" and "How do I connect with her?" He described their relationship as feeling like "misaligned velcro."

But instead of staying stuck, Stu decided to take a step of faith. Through the Delight Your Marriage program, he learned practical tools like the CIRQUE listening technique, which he called "revolutionary." He discovered how to be prayerful and playful and he not only deepened his relationship with Linda but also grew closer to Christ.

Today, Stu says he and Linda are "perfectly aligned." Praise God!

We hope Stu's story inspires you to believe that change is possible. It's possible to break free from feelings of disconnection. It's possible to learn how to love your spouse in ways that make them feel cherished. And it's possible for God to completely transform your marriage and your life.

God bless you!

Love,

Belah & Team

1:12.2	have that heart for your family. Family can be really hard. There's lots of reasons for that.
1:19.7	But what I invite you to do is love like Jesus did. He loved even though he wasn't given what he
