The marriage prep advice no one tells you (but should) . . .

I’m speaking at the Savvy Weddings Summit AND giving you the first peek at Our Intentional Union—here’s what you need to know.

You’ll spend more time planning your wedding menu than preparing for your actual marriage—and that’s exactly backwards.

Picture this: You spend months planning the perfect wedding day—every detail meticulously chosen, every vendor carefully vetted, every moment choreographed to perfection.

Then the honeymoon ends, and you realize… no one taught you how to actually be married.

Does that sound off to you too, or is it just me?

Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of couples: Your differences aren’t problems to solve—they’re superpowers waiting to be unleashed.

Take Sarah and Mike (a fictional couple based on real experiences). Sarah saw Mike’s spontaneity as chaos. Mike viewed Sarah’s planning as rigidity. They came to me convinced their differences were deal-breakers.

Plot twist: Sarah’s planning created the stable foundation that allowed Mike to launch his dream business. Mike’s spontaneity gave Sarah the courage to make a career change she’d been afraid to attempt for years.

Here’s the truth most couples never discover:

• Your relationship’s greatest strengths often hide in what feels like your biggest challenges
• Great marriages aren’t built on grand gestures—they’re created in tiny daily moments
• The patterns you bring into marriage (communication, money, love) can be understood and intentionally shaped
• Marriage prep doesn’t have to feel like homework—it can actually be fun (I promise!)

This is exactly why I’m so excited to be speaking at the FREE Savvy Weddings Summit this June 21st & 22nd.

I’ll be sharing my BUILD framework—five pillars that help couples create lasting marriages, not just beautiful wedding days. Because here’s what I know: you’re already being intentional about your wedding. Imagine bringing that same energy to preparing for your marriage.

You won't be learning just from me either. Sign up to get all the other perks. . .
