So... a serious ex-military gent (on his way to becoming a drill sergeant) decided it was time to fix his marriage. 

Then as a business leader and a leader in the church, people would come to him for marriage advice. Their connection looked good on the outside, but sadly it was lonely.

When he started the program, he began to realize maybe he should stop giving marriage advice. 

He shares in his story how hard, but necessary it was to become humble. 

Which as, Andrew Murray says, is the chief sin -- all others flow from it.

Murray goes on to say, if you think you don't struggle with pride, sadly, you do more than those who are at least aware of it. 

We all have to fight against pride.

Steve decided to take on that challenge. (Maybe his military background helped?)

And he decided to listen and deeply consider if his heart, perceptions, and approach have been wrong in his marriage. 

He not only became humble, but he also became teachable and asked the Lord to change him from the inside. And that caused him to lead as God designed.

Well, God is faithful... and did that. 

And when we seek first His Kingdom -- it's possible He changes things in our world as well (not guaranteed... but what IS guaranteed is we will see eternal riches though!)

Steve ended up being so grateful for what God did through the Masculinity Reclaimed program.

 

Before, he admitted that he would feel jealous of his own children because his wife gave them so much attention, affection, and pursuit and he was left with less than crumbs. 

Now, things have shifted SO much that she pursues him!

And he LOVES being around his kids now. He said he feels he is the father they need.

He said this program has ultimately changed the trajectory of all 5 of their lives because it has changed their father and the home they grow up in.

 

It's a story in which you'll be inspired and challenged and encouraged. If God can do it for Steve, He really can do it for you. 

(And Steve's wife didn't do the work... in fact, she didn't even know he took the program! Seriously, it can happen for you too. Have hope. God does miracles still!)

 

Blessings,

Belah

 

PS - The only way to get into this program is through a selection process called a Clarity Call. It is free, however, it takes a lot from our team and is a true gift to the one who signs up. 

If you are ready like Steve was, make the call: delightyourmarriage.com/cc

We work with wives in a separate program and God does amazing things there too!

A different, recent graduate wrote:

BEFORE the DYM program:

I didn't enjoy time with her, intimacy was not passionate, physical touch was lacking, we didn't have a connection anymore besides being parents to the same kids.

Every day was a struggle, and I often avoided my wife because I wanted to protect myself from attacks

AFTER the DYM program:

I have rediscovered joy! I am the leader of the home, in terms of mood, spiritual life, finances, relationships, everything. And by leading my house, my wife will become the partner I need and the woman she was created to be.

I've become the man my wife trusts, someone she can talk to openly and at length. We enjoy each other's company again & look forward to spending time together. Physical intimacy is no longer a chore, but a way to connect in addition to frequent non-sexual touch.

This program is so incredible, it has changed the trajectory of my household forever. "

(Wife didn't know he did the program).

"Unbelievable." (ie: There's no way that's true.)

That's how he felt when he heard the transformation stories.

He was in a place of desperation. 

Being in the marriage felt like a chore. 

 

But that glimmer of hope that kept him listening to the transformation stories made him wonder if he should take the leap of faith and schedule the free Clarity Call ( delightyourmarriage.com/cc ) 

Well, he did. 

His wife didn't know.

 

We don’t make these stories up. Maybe your marriage could be next. We invite you to schedule a free, no obligation call at delightyourmarriage.com/cc. What do you have to lose? This could permanently change your life. 

 

From a graduate: 

“After 36 years of marriage and being ‘settled’ (or maybe complacent?) in the rhythm of our relationship, I figured something along the lines of, ‘Well, for us this must be as good as it’s going to get!’

 

Now, two months and eight modules later, my feeling is, ‘If it can be this good already, and I still have four modules to go, where are we going from here?’”

There are so many people I wish I could help when I meet them at the playground, park, at a party... so here it is. 

 

Marriage can be tough. VERY tough.

And there is a dearth of helpful insight nowadays. 

My content is focused towards people who follow the teachings of Jesus.

But I really want to give you help because, from one perspective, we may not even be able to ask the hard philosophical questions about "is there a God?" or "what is Truth?" if we're bogged down with so much emotional pain in our marriage.

 

So, I tried my best in this episode to give you a roadmap at a very high level of how to rescue your relationship.

Whether you follow the teachings of Jesus or not. (Yes, all my training is based on that, but I want to HELP you... so I invite you to listen in because I am very practical.)

 

Maybe you want to stay married because of the kids (good for you!) or you really can't afford a divorce, or you want to keep the commitment you made however many years ago, or you have the slightest bit of hope that you could get back to what you had at first or... fill in the blank.

 

So, how do you do that when your partner has hurt you in so many ways?

 

  1. Well, in this episode, I talk about what husbands need to feel filled up in marriage, and what wives need to feel filled up in marriage. 
  2. And when you or your spouse is missing this, it is painful and "hurt people, hurt people". So your spouse reacts by hurting you too.
  3. I also talk about the very first step you must take, otherwise, your marriage won't be able to grow. 
  4. I also uproot a cliche and very harmful marital habit. EXTREMELY harmful, if you want to stay married.

And most of all I want you to have hope that it can change and that it's worth you putting in the work (yet again) to see to it that your kids have a solid and safe family to grow up in.

Love & Blessings,

Belah

A recent graduate of a Delight Your Marriage program said:

BEFORE: 

"No hope of anything beyond glorified roommates. We were lacking in communication, vulnerability, trust, emotional connectedness and of course physical intimacy."

[We had a sexless marriage].

AFTER:

That she has initiated love-making multiple occasions. We made love 3 days in a row on our anniversary trip and twice in a row on a recent work trip.

I feel like I have a system or structure—a way forward—to a better marriage. Whereas before I felt lost, hopeless and stuck. 

I have loved the program! ... I cannot believe its been 13 weeks!!! WHAT?!"

Their marital intimacy never seemed to be right.

Early on, they struggled with infertility and then a heartbreaking miscarriage.

God did give them a baby (praise God!), and then that was another layer of challenge.

But she couldn't seem to get intimacy "right."

And she knew he wasn't satisfied.

And that was a big dig to her confidence. Consistently.

Which impacted their relationship.

She decided to take the brave step and schedule the Clarity Call (with wonderful Dana).

But even just on that call, she felt so heard and cared for. And had a twinkle of hope.

 

Now...

She sees sex as pure and good. She already knew that. But somehow, through this work, it went from head to heart.

She felt so encouraged by the community. And finally had a judgment-free zone to deeply share.

Now she has gotten a great sense of freedom that she didn't have previously, and even encourages adventure in intimacy -- why not!?

May Rose's story encourage you. There is hope for you, too.

 

Our team is praying for you and we hope this episode leaves you with encouragement and hope that it can happen for you, too. <3

 

Love,

Belah

From another program graduate:

BEFORE the program: "I wanted to leave the marriage or die."

AFTER the program: "We are making each other the happiest we have ever been."

If you're a wife...this podcast is dynamite!

Wow, I just gotta say...thank You, Lord, for giving our dear Belah such wise insight and for her willingness, humility, and surrender to keep sharing the powerful things that You give her to share with all of us!

After listening to this podcast, I feel like I just got a feast at a banquet table! 

This is a message that empowers our God-given role as wives, breaks it down in simple, yet incredibly insightful and inspiring ways, AND enlarges the vision for the Kingdom of God and how our role as wives plays such a vital role in it all.

I truly hope and pray that this podcast speaks to and encourages your heart as it did mine. This will be one of my favorites that gets repeated many times over!

Thank you, Belah!

Thank You, Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for Your work in Your people and the incredible love You have for all of us that You show us the way to abundant life...and it is all though an intimate walk with you...a TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP with The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! What an amazing gift!   

Gratefully,

Darcy

A Delighted Wife client quote: 

"I'm so happy that I fought for this marriage. We are much better together than apart. We are an amazing team!" 

When asked if she would recommend the program:

“Yes! It works! It has transformed my crummy life to an amazing happy fulfilled life.”
