I am honored to be one of the three authors of this prayer book. Writing a book has always been a dream of mine, though I never imagined my first would be about marriage. Yet, I’m grateful that God has given me this opportunity, especially to embark on it alongside my best friends.

I am deeply passionate about therapy and empowering women. As a therapist, I integrate faith-based principles with evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help individuals break negative cycles and step boldly into their God-given purpose. Through my work, I’ve come to understand the significance of recognizing generational patterns,how they shape our relationships and, ultimately, our marriages. This insight has strengthened my belief in the power of prayer, particularly when it comes to breaking unhealthy patterns, and that is the perspective I bring to this book.

 was a 2023 bride, and by God’s grace, I am celebrating two years of marriage this year. I am beyond grateful for my husband, Johnson, who has shown me that true love is a sanctuary,a place of peace and safety. He brings out the best in me and continuously encourages me to grow into the woman God has called me to be. He is the true definition of a partner and best friend, and I thank God for his life every day.

I am especially excited for this book because too often, our generation focuses on the wedding day rather than preparing for the marriage itself. As Christians, it’s essential that we shift our perspective and truly equip ourselves for the lifelong journey ahead. My hope is that this book sparks a movement,a sisterhood of brides-to-be and wives who are intentional about building Christ-centered marriages that reflect God’s glory.
