Dave and Mary chat with Davey Blackburn

Mary and Dave sit down with Davey to conclude our marriage series with their story of divorce and remarriage, and how they now help other married couples all around the world find the same wholeness that they have.

Davey and Kristi Blackburn are living a beautiful story of redemption and healing, forgiveness and hope. What the enemy meant to serve as roadblocks in each of their lives, God has shifted into opportunity — opportunity to serve, to love, to learn, to grow, and to impact others for eternity.
Serving the Indianapolis area alongside their three children, Natalia, Weston, and Cohen Davey and Kristi strive to be beacons of God’s light and love, and showcase the power of His redemption to both their neighbors in Indianapolis and to individuals around the world.

Hunter Davis shares his thoughts on TSM

Rebekah and I love our marriage - and we’ve done everything wrong. All the marriage statistics say, “Don’t get married young, Don’t have kids too early.  Avoid financial stress.  And whatever you do, DO NOT MARRY CROSS-CULTURALLY.”  I know our marriage is young and we have lots of life ahead of us, but we consider two things to be the difference makers for us so far:​

  • God’s grace. We have a rich heritage of wise, rooted people that pray for both of us. They’re mostly our extended family and their friends.
  • This marriage workshop called “The Significant Marriage”. This is what we did for our pre-marital.  All that said, there is still the fact that in the middle of the ‘blessings of life’ (read: kids, work, birthday parties, scheduling babysitters) it’s hard to remember that my marriage should be fun and meaningful. 

​Often I start to get stuck in the mindset that our marriage needs to be “managed” like a project.  I end up feeling stressed, not totally connected, and confused about how to hit a reset button to get things back on track.
TSM is something we do every Fall to essentially (please excuse the cheesy metaphor) do a “oil-change” on our marriage from a practical standpoint.  If you could read 10 of the best marriage books in one weekend and apply 90% of the awesomeness of each one to your marriage, that’s what TSM is.  This isn’t a wishy-washy marriage seminar - it’s practical marriage workshop.

The cost varies for each location depending on who is hosting or if a room has to be rented and it typically runs from 6pm Friday to Sunday at 4pm.  Yep you read that right - it’s a ton of of time - you probably didn’t even take off that much time for your anniversary or birthday.  If you attend, it is going to take a lot of coordination, you’ll have to cancel plans, ask someone to fill in for you, and probably even pay more money to hire a babysitter.

Here’s what I’m suggesting - do it.  Apply all of your strategy, creativity, and resolve to make it happen. Beks and I just started to do this today and are going to ask our friend Charis to come down for the whole weekend, pay for her gas and meals, juggle Kai who is still breastfeeding, etc.  It won’t be easy or a ton of fun to coordinate.  But we do it because we know that the health of our marriage plays a part in every other part of our life 24 hours a day for the rest of our lives.

​It’s something worth taking a weekend for.
