Understanding the stories behind the struggles can change everything in a marriage.

When couples take time to share their life storiesโ€”the joys, wounds, and patternsโ€”it often opens the door to empathy, clarity, and real healing.

In our linked blog, we share why understanding each otherโ€™s story helps couples stop fighting against one another and begin healing together, with Christ at the center.

Paul David Tripp reminds us that even after decades of marriage, there is always room for deeper love, stronger trust, and greater grace. These six gospel commitments offer a powerful framework for strengthening a marriage through the lens of Christโ€™s love.

The Six Commitments:

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐š ๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ.
This is the only way a marriage grows. Regular forgiveness gives us the courage to confess, and confession allows us to experience the joy of restored relationships.

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก ๐š๐ง๐ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐š๐ ๐ž๐ง๐๐š.
As sinners, we can become too easily satisfied. God calls us to pursue His wise and beautiful plan through daily investment and intentional growth.

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ๐ ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐š ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐›๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ.
A healthy, God-honoring marriage cannot exist without trust. Trust helps couples weather the discouragements every marriage will face.

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž.
Love is more than avoiding conflict. It is the daily choice to practically reflect Christโ€™s love to our spouse.

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ข๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ž.
God brings very different people together. A beautiful marriage learns to celebrate those differences and lean on each otherโ€™s strengths.

๐–๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ ๐ž.
Complacency is dangerous. Humble prayer and diligent attention are essential to guarding a marriage over time.

No matter where your marriage is today, God invites you into a daily lifestyle of reconciling grace.

Which of these feels hardest in your marriage right now?

๐ŸŸก Communication
๐ŸŸก Trust
๐ŸŸก Emotional connection
๐ŸŸก Forgiveness

Youโ€™re not alone and needing help doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™ve failed. Let us help you move forward together.

When conflict keeps resurfacing, itโ€™s often not about the argument; itโ€™s about whatโ€™s underneath.

At Twelve Stones, we help couples identify:
โ€ข Unspoken expectations
โ€ข Past wounds affecting present trust
โ€ข Communication patterns rooted in fear or control

God doesnโ€™t just want to manage conflict, He wants to ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ž๐ž๐ฆ ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ.

โ€œSearch me, God, and know my heart.โ€ (Psalm 139:23)
A restorative retreat creates space to address what daily life keeps interrupting.

Restoring relationships often begins with honest reflection.

Marriage cannot survive on perfection (and itโ€™s not meant to).

Godโ€™s design for marriage includes ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, because two broken people need more than effort and intention to heal whatโ€™s been wounded.

โ€œBe kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.โ€ (Ephesians 4:32)

At Twelve Stones, couples often come feeling stuck in cycles of hurt and misunderstanding. Our retreats create space to slow down, uncover root issues, and invite Christ into the healing process.
If your marriage feels strained, grace may be the missing piece, not a lack of love.

Donโ€™t wait until you feel readyโ€ฆ

Ready enough.
Certain enough.
Strong enough.

Scripture reminds us that faith often begins before clarity.
โ€œWe live by faith, not by sight.โ€ (2 Corinthians 5:7)

At Twelve Stones, many people arrive at a retreat still unsureโ€”unsure of whatโ€™s wrong, unsure of what healing will look like, unsure of what comes next.

And thatโ€™s okay.

A restorative retreat isnโ€™t about having everything figured out.
Itโ€™s about taking one honest step toward Christ and allowing Him to meet you there with grace, truth, and direction.

If youโ€™ve been waiting for certainty, consider this your invitation to step forward anyway.

January is almost overโ€”but your opportunity for healing isnโ€™t.

If this month stirred something in youโ€”a longing for clarity, rest, or renewalโ€”donโ€™t ignore that nudge.

A Twelve Stones retreat may be the turning point God uses to bring lasting change.

You donโ€™t have to rush.

You just have to take the first step.
