💜 Will you walk with me? 💜

This weekend, a group of us from Guiding House Counseling joined the Su***de Awareness Walk hosted by Stark MAHR. It was moving to see so many people come together — bringing awareness, offering comfort, and holding on to hope.

Losing someone to su***de is different from any other kind of loss. It carries shock, questions that may never be answered, and a grief that can feel very lonely. But walking together reminded us that no one has to carry that pain by themselves.

There were booths set up with resources, support, and helpful information — little reminders that help is out there and hope is real.

I’m grateful we got to be part of this. And I’d love for you to walk with us next year. Together, we can shine light in the dark and remind one another: you are not alone. 💜

Time really is the one thing we can never get back. We can save money, replace things, even restart in some areas of life—but not time.

Every moment we get is a gift. A chance to love the people in front of us, laugh a little more, extend grace, or do something that fills our soul.

From a mental health perspective, relationships are one of the strongest predictors of overall well-being. Meaningful connection actually helps lower stress, improve resilience, and even lengthen life expectancy.

None of us know our balance, which makes today—and this very moment—so precious. Let’s spend it on what matters most. 💛

That one time “Miss Janelle and Dr. Paris” dressed up (and he even grew a mustache) to take their daughter to see Benson Boone. Not because they necessarily loved him (he’s quite talented ) but, because she did. So, they thought “let’s make a memory together …“

They never tell you…
Success has a cost.
It’s lonely at the top—not because people don’t love you,
but because fewer can understand the weight you carry.

But here’s the truth—
loneliness at the top is an invitation to build deeper, authentic connections.
Not everyone can go with you,
but the right people will walk beside you.” ✨
Thank you for this message, Jen!

💍✨ There is hope in marriage. A message from our marriage therapist, Ellie Brooks, MA LSW

So often, the struggles couples face aren’t just about today’s conflicts—they’re connected to deeper patterns of how we learned to love and connect early in life. The book How We Love describes these as attachment patterns: Pleaser, Vacillator, Avoider, Controller, and Victim. These patterns shape the way we respond to conflict, intimacy, and even everyday interactions with our spouse.

Here’s the good news: once we begin to see the pattern—in ourselves and in each other—we can begin to change it. Understanding attachment gives us a roadmap toward deeper compassion, healthier communication, and renewed closeness.

Every marriage has challenges, but there’s always a way forward. With awareness, grace, and intentional steps, healing and growth are possible. 🌿

If you and your spouse feel stuck, take heart—your story isn’t over, and your marriage is worth the effort.

NEW: Marriage Intensives at Guiding House.
Deep Healing. Real Tools. Renewed Connection.

Space is limited to 1 couple per weekend starting Sept 12th-13th. Reserve your spot by calling or texting 330.778.2919.

When your marriage feels stuck, it’s time for a breakthrough.

Maybe you’ve tried talking… and it turns into the same fight.
Maybe you’ve been drifting apart, unsure how to find your way back.
Or maybe you still love each other deeply, but life has buried the joy and connection you once had.

A Marriage Intensive is designed for couples who want real change — not months of inching forward, but two days of focused, uninterrupted work with a therapist who will guide you toward healing, understanding, and a renewed connection.

Over two powerful days, you will:
• Identify and break the painful cycles that keep you stuck
• Discover how your unique “love styles” shape your relationship
• Rebuild safety, trust, and emotional closeness
• Leave with a practical plan you can use every day to keep growing together

Your investment: $2,000
This includes 10 hours of professional counseling, assessments, personalized resources, and all materials.

Your marriage is worth this time.
Your marriage is worth this energy.
Your marriage is worth this investment.

What You’ll Experience
10 Hours of Therapy

• Step 1: Pre-Intensive Assessment (1 hour) Before we begin, you’ll meet with Ellie for a diagnostic session to ensure you’re ready for the intensive process.
She will look for:
• Willingness to engage in the Comfort Circle (touch, sustained eye contact, emotional regulation)
• A shared commitment to the relationship (not “one foot in, one foot out”)
• Readiness to do the work—this is not a space for deciding whether to stay together, but for building something stronger.

• Step 2: The Intensive (9 hours over 2 days)
Friday Evening – The Present (3 hours)
• Explore current relationship challenges
• Discover your unique love styles
• Unpack how these styles create your core patterns.

Saturday Morning – The Past (3 hours)
• Explore childhood experiences that shaped your attachment style
• Learn to heal together using the Comfort Circle

Saturday Afternoon – The Future (3 hours)
• Identify your core pattern triggers
• Learn concrete steps to step out of those patterns when they arise

• Step 3: The Follow-Up
• A personalized report & action plan to keep you moving forward
• A tune-up session to review progress and make adjustments

Why Choose a Marriage Intensive?
• Condenses months of counseling into one focused weekend
• Addresses root causes, not just symptoms
• Gives you proven, practical tools to use for life
• Creates a safe, structured environment for honest conversation and reconnection

Who This is For?Couples who are:
✅ Committed to staying together
✅ Able to engage in healthy physical touch and eye contact
✅ Ready to work through challenges in a safe, guided space
❌ Not for couples in active high-conflict or those undecided about staying together
