Credit Card Debt Might Be Hurting More Than Your Finances
If every unexpected expense ends up on a credit card, it's time to make a change.

The Pattern That Turns Wives Into Moms (And Husbands Into Kids)
Are you exhausted from managing your husband's schedule, reminding him ...
Are you exhausted from managing your husband's schedule, reminding him of tasks, and carrying the mental load of everything — while feeling more like his mother than his wife? Christian ...marriage coach, ordained pastor, and police chaplain Kelly DuPée names the mother-child dynamic that silently destroys marriages — and gives both spouses clear, practical steps to break the cycle and get back to being equals.
In this video you will learn:
- How to recognize the parent-child dynamic in your own marriage before it does more damage
- Why this pattern develops — and why neither spouse is the villain
- How to stop managing your spouse without everything falling apart
- Why passive compliance is just as damaging as control — and what to do instead
- 7 actionable steps to rebuild respect, restore romance, and redefine your roles as equal partners
Whether you're the spouse who's exhausted from carrying everything, or the spouse who knows you've been checking out — this video will give you an honest, faith-based path back to the marriage you both actually want.
Kelly DuPée is a Christian marriage coach, ordained pastor, and author who helps couples avoid the pain of divorce so they can have the marriage God wants them to have. He holds a Master's degree in theology and a Bachelor's degree in psychology — offering both biblically grounded and research-based solutions. After 35 years as a megachurch associate pastor, Kelly stepped into full-time coaching while continuing as an ordained pastor and active police chaplain. His chaplaincy work has equipped him to help couples process trauma, de-escalate conflict, communicate effectively, and grieve loss. Married to Carrie for almost 39 years, he has coached hundreds of couples across the US and internationally.

The Money Habit That Brought My Wife and Me Closer Together

Two incomes don't always create financial peace.
In fact, many couples discover that the more money they make, the more pressure they feel because they're spending everything that comes in.
What if ...you and your spouse decided to pursue a bigger goal together?
When my wife and I first got married, we chose to live on one income, give faithfully, and save the other income. A year later, we had enough money for a down payment on a home.
That decision didn't just strengthen our finances. It strengthened our marriage.
