When we label intent, we judge our spouse, and ultimately ourself. What if instead of our label, we got curious? When we get curious, we give our spouse the benefit of the doubt, and then our label becomes an opportunity to be compassionate and empathetic. This applies in our marriages and interactions with anyone! Rude becomes, “I wonder if they are having a bad day.” Hateful becomes "I wonder if they are hurt". Stupid becomes "I wonder if they are misinformed". Inconsiderate becomes "I wonder if they are desperate/unaware". Insane becomes "I wonder if they are confused". Terrible becomes "I wonder if they are scared". We create our own drama when we label the behaviors of others and make up stories about what they mean. Sure, inherently, there is "good/helpful" and "bad/harmful" behavior to a degree, but most of our frustration with others comes from within US, not from within them. Their behavior is activating something in us, or a part of us, that we also have an issue labeling with love. (Read that again and again until you understand it fully.) Example: (Austin here!) For me, as soon as I learned to appreciate myself, give myself grace and forgive those who once shamed me, I stopped calling other guys "cocky" behind their backs. I learned to extend them the same grace, positive intent and respect I had learned to give myself. One of the most powerful pivots I've ever learned in my life is to stop and become curious anytime I start to feel anything other than bliss, when I start to judge, when I start to blame and when I label the actions of others. Because of this, we have virtually no drama in our life. No, we are not making this up! We aren’t perfect, but this is something we put into practice daily, and it's helped us find substantial peace, grace for others, grace for ourselves, and a whole lot less drama in our lives. So next time you jump to judge, instead, stop and get curious. This gift you will give yourself and other is much greater than you likely realize in this moment. With love and joy, Austin & Rachel

Night 1 of Thrive for Life not only includes many fun surprises, along with our Session 1 training, but each couple walks the red carpet before attending our private dining experience. Enjoy these photos from our July 2023 Thrive for Life Retreat red carpet.

This July Austin and Rachel hosted yet another Thrive for Life Marriage retreat for high impact couples to gain new tools and techniques, grow as leaders, go deep, and connect on a level most couples never experience in their lifetime. Every couple that attends Thrive leaves with a completely new outlook on their marriage, even if their outlook was incredible before. What Austin and Rachel teach at this retreat they often refer to as "being unplugged from the matrix". Once couples know what they know, they realize the secrets to success in life and marriage aren't as "hard" as they thought and building their legacy together can be completely drama free and filled with fun and joy. Austin and Rachel delight in not only teaching impactful concepts through somatic learning, but they love to surprise and bless all of their couples. Much of which is not pictured so as to not spoil any surprises, however, we hope you enjoy checking out a few photos from this incredible weekend. To see the couples Red Carpet Photos , visit this blog post here . Many couples from the Conscious Christian Marriage Coaching program attended, including a couple from the East Coast. One of the major benefits experienced through this event is leaving with newfound friends and incredible bonds with other high integrity christian couples. Learning and growing through everything at Thrive with others who are at the same level is such a gift you won't know how great until you've attended a Thrive for Life for yourself. A note from Austin and Rachel: All our 2023 Thrive for Life couples, You are world changers. Your fearless commitment to never settling for good or even great in your marriage is inspiring. Spending this weekend with you will always be one of the greatest highlights of our lives. We love you all and hope you know that we are your #1 fans as you go into all the world and lead and love well through the influence of your marriage. Your impact is great and we honor you. Until next time, Austin and Rachel

When we first got married, we made a commitment that we wouldn’t wait for our marriage to suffer before investing in it. So much so that we “studied” marriage even before getting married. At the time, we thought we were being proactive. We read books, prayed hard, and went through a little pre-marital counseling too, where we were told to talk about budgets, expectations in sex and to formulate a parenting plan. Fast forward a few years down the road, and we came to head with a very real situation: Though very in love, our deepest hurts, unhealed wounds and unconscious patterns were being thrown around like a volleyball. We began to wonder why our marriage seemed to bring all of these things to the surface…and with ease. The tools we had previously sought out seemed (and were!) completely ineffective in the face of the real conflict we found ourselves in and the hurt that kept surfacing. So we kept digging. We dug deeper. We sought out the worlds best in relationship psychology and neuroscience and we stopped at nothing to learn, heal and grow. Everything we learned, we tried and tested in our own marriage first. There is nothing we teach or lead our couples in that we haven’t done first, applied, and also seen incredible results in. All of this, we put into the Conscious Christian Marriage because we know that it WORKS and truly transforms day to day life and maximizes our impact. We have seen it first hand! We created CCM because there was nothing else in the world like it; we know this because we looked for it. We looked for a resource that would practically and effectively equip couples in deep connection, healing, co-creativity, personal power, responsibility in their faith and the fulfillment of their calling from God. We didn’t find it, so we dove in head first and started building. All this to say, we felt strongly called to create a resource based on the values of our Faith as well as scientifically supported psychology and neuroscience. God created them both to work hand in hand. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30) We believe that God’s unique design of our psyche has equipped us to find healing in our conflict. Because of this, we believe a miracle has already been performed in every single person’s heart. This is the powerful convergence of God’s divinity and goodness and the intricate inner-workings of our heart, mind, soul and strength. Our passion is to support and equip highly driven Christian couples who desire a true partnership, where they can be authentic, creative, supported and appreciated - all the time - thus maximizing their impact to fulfill the calling God has placed on their lives. We help couples understand the real reasons they attracted each other – things like mutual healing, co-creativity and ever-expanding joy. We teach couples how to end withholding for good, and melt away shame and fear they’ve carried since childhood. We equip couples to increase the value they share in each other through appreciation and gratitude - no matter how GOOD they already experience each other! We teach couples how to become curious instead of adrenaline-fueled when it comes to navigating learning opportunities (what you may still refer to as "conflict"). We believe that no matter how GOOD a marriage is, God is calling it upward and onward and if we aren't growing, we are stagnant and dying. So we are passionate in helping incredible, high integrity couples take their wonderful marriages to the next level - and levels above levels! "The Conscious Christian Marriage Coaching program really took our relationship to the next level and I couldn’t imagine doing life now without having the tools that we have." - Stephen L. "Joining is one of the best decisions we’ve made in our lives, and we’ll continue to be with the Conscious Christian Marriage for as long as it’s around." - Kodie B.
