Pushing for traditional marriage counseling when one partner wants out is like handing them a heavier workload when they are already drafting their resignation letter. Discernment Counseling is the pause button.

Discover why “consumer marriages” leave couples dissatisfied and how shifting from “What I get” to “What I give” can transform your relationship.

If you’ve ever wondered how your partner can seem perfectly content while you’re feeling disconnected, frustrated, or even lonely in your relationship, you’re not imagining it. Many couples live with this imbalance — one person feeling the ache of “something’s missing” while the other feels like things are mostly fine.

At the center of every healthy relationship — with ourselves and with others — lies one essential truth: our worth is inherent. It isn’t earned by achievements, behavior, beauty, or success. It isn’t taken away by failures, heartbreaks, or mistakes.

It’s the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, recognize and respond to your partner’s emotions, and navigate challenges without blowing up or shutting down.
