Still Becoming One
We deeply desired a marriage based on God's design: two people coming together as "one flesh," but we had no idea how to do it. We tried and fell flat many times, going through many dark seasons. We wondered when the oneness was supposed to begin. Renewing grace and love in our marriage wasn't an easy process, but now, more than 20 years later, our marriage is thriving, and Brad is a licensed counselor, and Kate is a relationship coach. We work with couples and individuals who want to discover what building a one-flesh marriage means, helping them uncover and understand their stories and the unique challenges that keep them stuck. We invite you to journey with us as we are Still Becoming One.
