Healing is layered—spiritual and emotional—and therapy can be part of God’s plan to make us whole. Just like Lazarus needed help removing his grave clothes, we sometimes need others to help us unpack the weight we carry. This is a reminder that faith and therapy are not at odds—they can walk hand in hand toward your healing.

Why Preparing Yourself Matters More Than Praying for Marriage
True preparation for marriage begins long before vows are exchanged. It starts with understanding who you are—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

Self-discovery is a gift to yourself and your future partner, shaping love from a place of wholeness.
