WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

This book is a powerful invitation to witness the courage it takes to become whole - individually and as a couple. Stephen & Krystina have poured their lessons, their vulnerability, and their proven strategies into these pages. Read their story. Apply their lessons. And your life and your marriage will be better for it.

Everyone should pick up this book. As a coach working with high-profile leaders, I witness firsthand how many battle with relationships at home. This book delivers practical insights you can implement immediately, making it an essential resource.

Stephen and Krystina are the real deal. Their story is raw, redemptive, and full of God's grace. I've watched them walk through seasons that would have broken many - but instead, they've allowed God to use their pain to bring healing, not just to themselves, but now to countless others. If you've ever wondered if restoration is possible, I'd love can really be rebuilt, or if God still writes new stories out of broken ones - this book will remind you that He absolutely does.

This book is a testament to the impact you both have made in our lives and the lives of others. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Stephen and Krystina for their unwavering commitment to positive change and encouragement throughout their journey. Their transparency and genuine kindness has not only inspired us but has also touched the lives of many around them. With God at the center of their lives, they exemplify the true meaning of service to humanity. Thank you for being beacons of light and love, reminding us all of the power of compassion.

We have attended church and been on the business team community as Stephen & Krystina. They have a heart for the Lord and a burning desire to help people grow in all areas of life. This book contains the best of them as they boldly, and transparently share their story with you. It is a true honor to call them friends.

Stephen's love for Krystina is a power example of what is means to love your wife well. Stephen and Krystina are one of the most caring and loving couples we know. They have been incredible friends to us through both ups and downs. Their love for others is evident in every relationship they have, but if shines brightest in the way they love each other. Every time we are around them, we are inspired to love each other even more. I'm grateful to know such a wonderful couple.

Stephen and Krystina are the living definition of a marriage that grows deeper and stronger through every season of life. Their relentless commitment to personal growth and pouring that growth into one another shines through every conversation, every glance, and every act of service. Over the years they have become more than friends - they've become mentors who let us watch, up close, do what it looks like to love and serve your spouse better today than you did yesterday. My wife and I turn to them first whenever we need wisdom about marriage, because their relationship isn't just advice they give; it's the daily, visible fruit of a love that keeps choosing the other person, every single day.

Someone once gave me a plaque that says, “Marriages are not made in heaven; they come in kits and you have to put them together.” I’ve often joked I would add, “…over and over again!” This book captures that truth beautifully—not only for marriage (I found it encouraging in my own 38-year marriage), but for any area of life that isn’t yet what God intended. Thank you, Stephen and Krystina, for sharing your story and showing what God can do in our broken lives, for His glory.

A beautiful example of redemption and restoration. The Sternes' story of leaning in to the Lord will encourage and give hope to everyone, whether you're facing this battle or any other!

The raw honest truth about a highly destructive pervasive subject, that no one wants to talk about. Physically and spiritually healthy families are the foundation to a flourishing successful society. This book could be the catalyst to begin a recovery movement for those who have the humility, courage and fortitude to want to make a change. Krystina and Stephen overcame the challenge…and you can too!

Courageously vulnerable narrative told through a Christ centered lens. It's sure to instill hope to couples struggling with any issue.

Beautifully written book! This was so honest & helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for insights from a couple that has put in the work and can give a quality perspective to walk through your own marriage.
