Description
Welcome to Couples Becoming Intentional! In this podcast, you’ll find practical tips and strategies to be intentional about the relationships in your life, questions that spark curiosity to ask each other and experiences from our life and what we’ve learned along the way. Ultimately, we desire for you to have a long lasting relationship that impacts generations to come. If you’re ready to say “I DO” again to your spouse, then this is the place for you. We’re Jon and Carrie Vajko. We’ve been married for 6 years and are no strangers to the trials that marriage (and families) can bring. We met at a bible camp, got married 18 months later and were thrown into navigating newlywed life, college, moving, career changes and starting a family (unexpectedly.) As certified life and business coaches and counselors, we’re ready to support you on your journey of developing an intentional relationship with the one you love most.If you find yourself asking questions like...1. How do I communicate with my spouse? 2. How can I have a Christ centered marriage? 3. Do I need pre-marital counseling? 4. When do I need marriage coaching? 5. Am I marrying the right person? 6. What does the bible say about sex? 7. How do I live pure with my boyfriend/girlfriend?...then this show is for you!
