Marriage Coaching = Healthy Marriages. Healthy Homes. Healthy Communities.
Marriage. If it was meant to be easy, we wouldn’t need each other. And we wouldn't need God.
Are you sick of having the same arguments? Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Or maybe you just want to keep moving forward.
We can help.
19 Years and Counting
"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Matthew 19:6
Working together to build healthy marriages since 2019.
Ian & Emily Shaw
We have spent the last several years facilitating marriage groups and coaching others to find healthy routines for developing thriving marriages.
With a combination of having to work through difficulties in our marriage of nineteen years and seeing the need for mentorship and lack of support for marriages around us, we started on a journey that led us into marriage mentorship and coaching. We aim to come alongside other couples and walk with them as they gain a new understanding of how God created marriage, challenge some common myths about marriage, and help them create unity with one another and with Christ.
As marriage coaches, we believe that it is only with Christ at the center that marriages are pulled into their potential. And without healthy marriages, there are no healthy families. And without healthy families, our communities suffer as a result.
Together with our experiences and education, we are compelled to try to help others grow and thrive in their marriages.

Hear What Others Have to Say About Us
"Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song. for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem." Isaiah 52:9
"Ian and Emily have been such a light for me and my husband during some of our darkest times. They are invested in helping couples find healing and growth in their marriage and they do it with Jesus at the center of everything which makes their ministry blossom even more beautifully. The Lord has given them a heart for seeing marriages become healthy and they commit themselves to being a tool for Jesus in that. I have no doubt that their heart for married couples paired with their love for Jesus will be used to powerfully impact marriages and families!”
"Ian and Emily are a genuine and sincere couple passionate about marriage and the blessings waiting for those who seek God's intention for them. They have been a catalyst in the growth of my marriage with their guidance, prayer, and holy spirit-led wisdom.”
"Ian and Emily genuinely care about you and your marriage. I know how uncomfortable it can be to talk about your marriage when it's hurting, but you will find no shame or judgment from them. They gracefully and lovingly speak the truth to you, even if it's hard to hear. I am so thankful for the guidance they have given me and my husband."
