Brittney: When my husband and I began this class, we were so far from each other, not able to communicate, our needs not being met and almost wondering “Why did we get married? It shouldn’t be this hard. It’s only been 2.5 years though it felt like 20!!”

I thought I had done the work I needed in my life to be a “whole” person, not carrying my past into our relationship. I thought I had “fixed” all my issues and was close to God, so how could I be the problem…?!  I thought Jezebel was that ugly spirit who hung out in bars and seduced men and was just yucky, I wasn’t her!

I then learned that Jezebel is also that over independent woman who took on the role of being the head of house and controlled what happened in the home. I was her, and that spirit came from my childhood and young adult life!! Through the assessments and meticulous explanations from Kelly, my husband and I both found our deep-rooted trauma, rejection, shame and so on that we both have in our family trees and our personal trees. We saw how our fruit has been affected and where we were the same. Our relationship with each other and with God was being attacked!  Through BLoved we learned how to communicate, saw where each other’s hurt came from and how to work through it together in prayer and meeting each other’s needs. The best part, our relationship with God has blossomed as we’ve walked into the fire unashamed and fully engaged!

As of today, our relationship is the best it’s ever been with each other and with God! We will continue to do the work and stay in the fire, being refined by our loving and faithful Father!! No matter what we are determined to stay in the fire!

Arnold: Me and my wife were kind of going through relationship issues. This class changed that. We communicate more, talk about our relationship and what we want from each other. We have learned so much about each other through this course. I am happy and satisfied with my wife and have learned what GOD wants from both of us. My key takeaway is to love my wife as I love Jesus Christ.
