Marriage Help

Where can busy, high-achieving Christian couples get marriage help?

By Austin & Rachel Holt, founders of The Conscious Christian Marriage

The Short Answer

Busy Christian couples tend to do best with marriage help that is ongoing, flexible, and practical rather than hourly appointments. Look for faith-centered coaching with recorded calls you can listen to on your own schedule, concrete tools you can use the same day, and a community of couples at a similar level of drive. The Conscious Christian Marriage coaching program was designed around exactly this.

Driven people get stuck in a specific way

High performers are used to solving problems with effort. That works at the office and often backfires at home. You cannot out-work a wound, and you cannot manage your spouse like a project.

Many driven couples also feel strangely isolated. Their friends either do not share their faith, do not share their ambition, or do not talk honestly about marriage. That loneliness is one of the most common things couples tell us when they arrive.

What to look for

Flexibility: recorded sessions you can listen to in the car or at the gym.

Practical mechanics: frameworks you can apply the same week, like daily check-ins, agreements, and quarterly planning as a couple.

A peer room: couples who are as serious about their marriage as they are about their work.

A real standard: not just becoming a better version of yourself. The standard is Christ.

How CCM fits a full calendar

Every CCM call is recorded. Members come to one live call a week or to all of them. One theme runs through the whole week, taught from different angles on the couples call, the husbands call, and the wives call.

Our members include business owners, pastors, physicians, military officers, therapists, and church leaders. You are not joining a support group for marriages in trouble. You are joining the couples other people quietly ask for advice.

Common questions

How much time does CCM take each week?

As much as you give it. Many members listen to one call a week on replay. What you put in is what you get out.

How much does it cost?

The CCM coaching program is $297 per month per couple and includes every live call, every course, the private community, and access to in-person gatherings.

Is there something more private for couples with less margin?

Yes. The Premier program adds private coaching with Austin and Rachel Holt twice a month.
