Sedona

This has been our experience this week.  While we had a good time in Las Vegas and enjoyed the shows, the service, the excitement, it was at Sedona that our souls found rest.  I have truly experienced the verse, “Be still and know that I am God.”  Psalm 46:10  

This reminds me of the contrast we see as marriage coaches between a poor relationship and a good relationship.  Poor relationships are full of chaos, confusion, disillusionment, disharmony, and conflict.  They are driven by self.

Good relationships, on the other hand, are passionate, loving, kind, other-centered, and God driven.

Our job as marriage/relationship coaches is to help couples achieve “Sedona” in their hearts.
