Waiting rarely makes it better. Most couples tell us they lived with one of these for years before they finally reached out.
Different night, same argument. It never resolves, so it never really ends — it just goes quiet until next time.
You split the chores and coordinate the calendar, but the friendship, the laughing, and the intimacy quietly disappeared.
They're forming their picture of marriage from what happens in your house, and you know it isn't the picture you wanted to give them.
Couples leave a New Day intensive with more than a truce. They leave with a plan and the tools to keep it.
A shared language for the hard subjects, so honesty stops costing you a three-day standoff.
A clear, honest path forward after betrayal, secrecy, or a long season of small letdowns.
The version of you two that used to stay up talking — that couple is still in there.
God's design for marriage, applied to your actual Tuesday — not just talked about on Sunday.
Meet Your Guides
We know exactly how heavy it is to admit your marriage is in trouble. Making that first call takes real courage, and we never take it lightly. There's no lecture here, no sides taken, and no shame — just two people who believe your marriage is worth fighting for.
We've spent [X] years married to each other and [X] years walking with couples through conflict, betrayal, burnout, and blended-family strain. We're certified through XO Marriage, founded by Jimmy Evans, and we build every intensive on that framework: biblical truth, practical tools, and a plan you can actually live out on Monday morning.

No paperwork maze. No months-long waitlist. No wondering what you just signed up for.
Fifteen minutes with Mike or Sarah. Tell us what's going on. We'll listen and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

Nobody stands at the altar planning to end up here. But somewhere in the middle of the jobs, the kids, the bills, and the years, plenty of couples look up and realize they've become polite strangers under one roof. If that's you, you are not broken and you are not the exception. You're normal — and normal is fixable.
New Day Marriage exists because we believe most marriages that end didn't have to. The couples who make it aren't the ones who never struggled; they're the ones who got help before resentment hardened into contempt. Mike and Sarah Larner work with couples in every season — newlyweds who can't stop fighting, parents who've drifted, spouses rebuilding after betrayal, and blended families trying to become one family.
Our work is unapologetically Christian and genuinely welcoming. We're certified through XO Marriage, founded by Jimmy Evans, and we teach God's design for marriage the way it was meant to be taught: with grace first, honesty second, and no shame anywhere. You don't need to have your spiritual life sorted out to sit down with us. You just need to be willing.
We host one-day marriage intensives in [CITY/REGION] and meet with couples anywhere by Zoom. Whatever brought you to this page, the next step is small: one free fifteen-minute call, no commitment and no judgment. Your marriage can have a new day. It almost always starts with a phone call.
Book the call anyway. One motivated spouse can change a pattern, and in our experience most reluctant partners come along once they hear it isn't an ambush and nobody's going to take sides.
[Placeholder. Walk through the day hour by hour — arrival, the first session, lunch, the afternoon work, and how you close. Couples book faster when they can picture the day.]
No. Our approach is built on Scripture and we won't pretend otherwise, but couples of every background sit with us and are treated with the same respect. You will never be pressured about your faith.
[Placeholder. State whether you're a licensed counseling practice or faith-based coaching, what that means for insurance, and list any payment plans or scholarship options.]
[Placeholder. Say how you handle Zoom sessions and who you'd steer toward an in-person intensive instead.]
[Placeholder. Explain your confidentiality practice and its legal limits.]
XO Marriage is the marriage ministry founded by Jimmy Evans. Mike and Sarah are certified through their program, and the intensive is built on that framework alongside their own counseling training.
