Marriage Was Never Meant to Feel This Lonely

Waiting rarely makes it better. Most couples live with one of these for years before they reach out.

  1. The Same Fight, On Repeat

    Different night, same argument. It never resolves, so it never really ends. It just goes quiet until next time.

  2. Living Like Roommates

    You split the chores and coordinate the calendar. The friendship, the laughing, and the closeness quietly disappeared.

  3. Your Kids Are Watching

    They are forming their picture of marriage from what happens in your house, and you know it is not the picture you wanted to give them.

Imagine Coming Home and Being Glad You Did

Couples leave a New Day intensive with more than a truce. They leave with a plan and the tools to keep it.

There Is More to the Story

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 have become polite strangers under one roof. If that is you, you are not broken and you are not the exception. You are normal, and normal is fixable.

New Day Marriage exists because we believe most marriages that end did not have to. The couples who make it are not the ones who never struggled. They are the ones who got help before resentment hardened into contempt. Mike and Sarah Larner coach couples in every season: newlyweds who cannot stop fighting, parents who have drifted, spouses rebuilding after betrayal, and blended families trying to become one family.

Our work is unapologetically Christian and genuinely welcoming. We are certified through XO Marriage, founded by Jimmy Evans, and we teach God's design for marriage with grace first and honesty second. You do not 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], Michigan and coach couples anywhere online. Coaching is not clinical treatment, so if something surfaces that calls for licensed care we will help you find the right professional. Whatever brought you to this page, the next step is small: one free fifteen minute call. Your marriage can have a new day.

Questions Couples Ask Us First

What if my spouse will not come?

Book the call anyway. One motivated spouse can change a pattern, and most reluctant partners come along once they hear it is not an ambush and nobody is going to take sides.

What is the difference between coaching and counseling?

Coaching is forward looking. We teach a biblical framework, work on beliefs and patterns, and build a plan you act on. We are not licensed clinical practitioners and we do not diagnose or treat mental or emotional disorders. When something clinical surfaces, we refer you to a licensed professional.

What actually happens during a one-day intensive?

[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.]

Do we have to be Christians?

No. Our approach is built on Scripture and we will not 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.

Do you take insurance?

No. Coaching is not a licensed clinical service, so it is not billed to insurance. [Placeholder: list payment plans, package pricing, or scholarship options here.]

Is an online session as effective as meeting in person?

[Placeholder. Say how you run online sessions and who you would steer toward an in person intensive instead.]

Is everything we say confidential?

[Placeholder. Explain your confidentiality practice and its limits.]

What is XO Marriage?

XO Marriage is the marriage ministry founded by Jimmy Evans. We completed their Intensive Certification Training, and the intensive is built on that framework.
