Hope Relentless Marriage Counseling and Relationship Center
Marriage Counseling
Happiness and laughter in our marriage is what we all want, isn't it?
Yet, we know that our happiness can come and go quickly based on circumstances. We come to find that happiness is a byproduct of something deeper. That 'deeper' is a firm foundation. A commitment to building a marriage that can weather the storms of life and also enjoy the exhilarating times, along with all that is in between. Give your marriage your best and watch as hope begins to resurface. Let's build something authentic, beautiful, and lasting together.
Keeping Happy in the Ever After
What You Can Expect: Marriage Counseling Services
Encouragement: Way to go! Truly. The fact that you are looking for support for your marriage shows that you care about your spouse and that is a fantastic place to start. It has taken however many years for you to feel the way you do about your marriage. Our ask is that you give us 12 weeks to get you back on the path you want to be on, moving towards hope and love. You are worth the investment and your marriage is too.
Immediate relief from the presenting problem: We will look at some of the symptoms of your relationship that are causing immediate pain.
Examination of your marital foundation: We will explore questions such as, “What is your marriage built on and what are your beliefs about marriage?” This is when we really examine more of the root causes of why your marriage is experiencing certain painful symptoms. We will also talk about what is and is not working in your marriage.
Foundation Building:
The fun part and the core of what we will do. We will build the marriage you want, on a firm foundation that can withstand the highs and lows of life. It will also stand as an example of hope for other marriages.
Again, give us 12 weeks to get you back on the path you want to be on, a path of hope and love for your spouse. From there we will talk about next steps that will be unique for each couple.
Some themes throughout our time together will be
hope,
encouragement,
skills,
perspective,
consistency,
compassion, authenticity and
grace.
We look forward to spending time together and seeing all that we can create.

We provide marriage counseling for couples in the following communities and surrounding areas:
Premarital & Marriage Counseling
Preparing for marriage and prioritizing our marriages is crucial because marriage impacts every facet of our lives. We don’t fall into a fulfilling marriage, we build one by being intentional, consistent, and accountable. Premarital counseling can be key in helping a couple build healthy patterns and habits from the beginning on their marriage.
Parenting in Unity
Sometimes we need help adjusting to a new season, setting boundaries, and learning new ways to communicate with our children. Oftentimes we need help knowing how to raise our children in unity with our spouse. Parenting is not for the faint of heart but it sure does have the potential to enlarge our hearts for the good. Like anything else, it requires our attention, consistency and commitment to learn and try again.
Interraccial Couples
Interracial relationships are amazingly rich but can also be complicated. You are not alone. Interracial marriages and families can flourish and learn to celebrate the uniqueness of one another as they walk in unity, awareness and humility. We want to help!
Ministry Couples
Our experience working on staff at a church leaves us with a special place in our hearts for couples that are in ministry, whether a key volunteer and/or a lead pastor. There are so many sacrifices made and so many real and man made pressures to navigate through. Marriage and family can suffer as a result. Fatigue and burnout can also impact the individual which has its own negative ripple effects. We believe it is crucial for couples in ministry to get the help and support they need BEFORE they hit a potential crisis, in a way that is encouraging, confidential and biblically centered.
Hi, I am Sarah-Gayle
I am honored and humbled to play any part in encouraging your marriage. The biggest questions I have for you are do you want your marriage to grow and do you believe it can? If the answers are yes, then let's get started TODAY. You are worth it and your relationship is worth it.
Sometimes you will be able to see change in your marriage immediately as accountability sets in, your perspective changes and you remember what brought you and your spouse together. It can also take a bit of time to see forward progress. We must remember that it took time to get to the place we are today and it will take time to get to a different place.
I am here to walk the journey with you in patience and grace as you become equipped with skills, and compelled by humility to keep going. WELL DONE for wanting to grow in your marriage and for hopefully taking the first step to set up an appointment. Incredible! As long as we have breath, there is hope!

“Sarah-Gayle entered into the tension in our marriage with both grace and truth. Her approach of asking questions, and her practical steps of wisdom are what changed things for us early in our marriage. With patience and tenacity,
Sarah-Gayle entered into disagreements and family of origin issues by helping us both to identify where we needed to grow. She is STILL all these years later, walking with us in different ways.

“Sarah-Gayle has truly been a God send to us. She was brought in to consult at a time when we had just been given the leadership of a 35yr old church. Her focus for us was staff care including how to help us better serve married couples working together on staff. Sarah-Gayle brings wisdom and does an amazing job of hearing everyone and gathering honest input to determine the course of action. After meeting with Sarah-Gayle, we were able to implement better staff care that has strengthened our unity and dynamic as a church staff family. Sarah-Gayle is trustworthy and wise, and we always knew she had everyone's best interests in mind. We are grateful for the wisdom we gleaned from our time with Sarah-Gayle. Every organization can benefit from her sound advice.

Being counseled by Chad & Sarah-Gayle has been so eye opening. We have been together for almost 7 years and married for 3. During this time we have navigated many situations in our time together, but having the resources and tools provided through our sessions have made our conversations much more purposeful. The frustrations that would typically escalate a situation are now easier to navigate and communication can truly be had. Where we once focused on making the other person see our side or defend our perspective, we have been able to pivot and address issues with grace and Jesus in mind. We are learning to build a kingdom focused environment in disagreements and that has been the biggest blessing.
We love Chad & Sarah-Gayle's patient and faith filled approach to navigating real life scenarios. It's never too early or too late to get the tools you need to build, reconstruct, or remodel your marriage.

"We came to Sarah for a tune-up of our marriage after 15 years. We weren't in crisis by any means, but felt that we had fallen into complacency and sought her counsel to help us re-energize our relationship.
Sarah did a wonderful job of facilitating meaningful conversations. She alternated between teaching and listening and is blessed with a wonderful discernment of when to dig deeper. Her counsel is soundly rooted in an authentic Christian faith and she consistently used God's Word as the foundation of her teaching. Sarah was able to provide simple, practical recommendations that we were able to implement immediately to help improve our communication, connection and even parenting skills.
We would strongly recommend Sarah to any couple seeking godly counsel to assist in deepening and strengthening their marriage."
