Devoted helps couples intentionally build a marriage culture rooted in Jesus—one shaped by covenant, shared purpose, grace, honest connection, mutual honor, and a commitment to keep growing together.
Every marriage develops a culture—the way you speak, listen, pray, respond under pressure, make decisions, forgive, serve, and return to one another after difficult moments.
Devoted helps couples become intentional about that culture rather than allowing busyness, old patterns, unspoken expectations, or unresolved hurt to shape it for them.
The goal is not to create the appearance of a perfect marriage. It is to keep building a relationship that is honest, safe, grace-filled, spiritually mature, and increasingly rooted in Christ.
Devoted creates space for couples to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, return to biblical truth, and turn what they learn into everyday rhythms at home.
Marriage is not competition and it is not passive partnership. Couples learn to recognize the gifts, wisdom, callings, and strengths God has placed in one another and to build with mutual honor.
Prayer, Scripture, conversation, time together, rest, and regular check-ins create rhythms that protect connection when schedules get full and life becomes demanding.
Conflict does not have to become distance. Couples grow in emotional safety, honest ownership, healthy pauses, repentance, forgiveness, patience, and the ability to repair after hurt.
The faith, habits, language, values, hospitality, forgiveness, and love cultivated in your home become part of what you model, multiply, and pass to the generations that follow.
Devoted encourages couples to listen before trying to win, take responsibility for what belongs to them, create safety for honesty, speak life, extend grace, and invite God into the places that need healing, alignment, and growth.
Our eight-week courses create room for biblical teaching, honest reflection, meaningful conversation, prayer, practical alignment, and simple habits couples can continue long after the course ends.
Before You Say “I Do” is an eight-week biblical premarital course for engaged couples and couples married less than one year.
Couples explore the stories and patterns they each bring into marriage, clarify shared values, develop healthier communication, establish spiritual rhythms, and begin defining the kind of home and marriage culture they want to build.
It is an opportunity to enter marriage with greater awareness, stronger alignment, and a shared commitment to keep Christ at the center.
We Still Do is an eight-week course for married couples who want to become more intentional about the culture developing inside their relationship.
Couples look honestly at shared values, communication, emotional safety, stress responses, recurring conflict patterns, grace, repair, spiritual rhythms, and the words they speak over one another.
This is not about deciding who is right. It is about understanding the patterns that keep creating distance, taking responsibility for your part, and learning how to return to one another with humility and grace.
Graduation celebrates couples who made room to slow down, tell the truth, pray together, listen more carefully, practice new rhythms, and become more intentional about the marriage culture they are creating.
Once a year, couples step away from the normal pace of life for a three-day Devoted Marriage Retreat centered on Jesus, connection, reflection, and growth.
The weekend includes biblical teaching, worship, guest speakers, prayer, laughter, time together, and meaningful conversations that daily schedules do not always make room for.
Couples have space to look beyond surface-level disagreements and talk about what may be happening underneath—stress, expectations, old patterns, unmet needs, fear, distance, or simply the effects of moving too fast for too long.
The purpose is not simply to have a great weekend. It is to return home with renewed perspective, greater connection, and practical rhythms that keep shaping the marriage long after the bags are unpacked.
Throughout the year, Devoted hosts special gatherings that help couples step out of routine and intentionally reconnect.
Some evenings are playful. Some make room for deeper conversations. Others include teaching, worship, food, games, or a date-night atmosphere.
The format may change, but the purpose does not: create space to listen again, laugh again, encourage one another, speak life, and remember that connection is something couples continue to cultivate.

The atmosphere of a home is shaped over time by what couples repeatedly choose—how they speak, forgive, pray, resolve conflict, welcome people, handle stress, serve, rest, give, and love.
Those choices eventually become culture. Culture becomes example. And example becomes part of the legacy passed forward.
Devoted helps couples think beyond simply making a relationship work and ask a larger question: what kind of home, faith, and Kingdom culture are we intentionally building together?
Rob and Julissa lead Devoted with a heart to help couples build marriages that are deeply rooted in Jesus and intentionally shaped by biblical truth.
Their desire is to create a ministry where couples can be honest about real life, grow in spiritual and relational maturity, learn to extend grace, practice healthy repair, and discover what it means to serve and honor one another well.
Ultimately, their heart is to see marriages become places of faithfulness, safety, courage, prayer, truth, hope, and Kingdom influence.
Whether you’re engaged, newly married, decades into your story, or simply looking for the next Devoted course, retreat, or event, we would love to help you take the next step.
Fill out the form and someone from the Devoted Marriage Ministry team will be in touch.

Find your people. Grow in faith. Do life together.
