A little on what others think about The Significant Marriage

Everyone wonders why we went to coworking space on our wedding anniversary 🤔 Someone asks if we had a working day. Others are surprised what kind of an unusual date we made up.

Both are right: we had a "working date." We spent 8 hours of hard work on our marriage, and yesterday added another 7 🤗. We re-read materials from the training for couples “Significant Marriage”, which we visited a year ago and which we plan to visit again in a week.  Summing up the results of another year of our family in only a few areas (yes, two big days were not enough for all areas 🙄), we were amazed of how much growth and change we had during this year 🔥

I already want to share our "bumps" and lessons, tears of despair and hugs of joy, in other words, all things which helped us to climb all mountains and become happier. So the “backstage” of the Koval family is ahead 😱😂

P.S. Who has not yet registered for the TSM training course from veeeeery cool trainers Dave Gothi and Mary Gothi, we recommend sooooo highly! In a week they will come to Ukraine to conduct the most powerful family training that I have been to (and you know me, I like to participate in the TCs 😝). This is not just a complete reflashing of relations in the main areas (communication, conflicts, needs and differences of husband and wife, sex, spiritual intimacy, physical and psychological health, finances, values, dreams, vision for your family), but also interesting questions for everyone personally and time to discuss everything together and write down your common goals. The effect of last year’s training is still on, but we decided to repeat the course, in order to dive even deeper into each of those topics !! 🙃 Who is with us?

P.P.S. Thank you, dear husband, Yurii Koval, for appreciating me and our marriage so much!!

We believe that Dave and Mary are anointed. Their willingness to glorify God through the marriage ministry TSM blesses many couples who need the hand of God in their lives. Thank you for helping me and my husband on our healing journey!  
Courtney and Justin (Fort Worth) 

TSM has not only changed our marriage, but it has changed our family legacy.  The principles we’ve learned and the practical approach has helped change our dreams into realities.    
Jason and Kara  (Dallas) 

The TSM seminar was so life-giving and encouraging.  It has helped us to come to a better understanding of who we are and why God brought us together. It is so empowering to walk away with a plan for growing our relationship and serving a unified purpose.   
Travis and Megan (Indiana) 

No matter whether you’ve been newly married or been married for awhile (30+ years for us), The Significant Marriage encourages you to look at reality life “stuff” that gets in the way of having a significant marriage.  The Significant Marriage give you the tools to actually create a feasible plan to carry out your goals and to an environment of success that protects your marriage.   
Lorie and Brent  (N. Indiana) 

Just sign up. Don’t overthink it! It will absolutely make a positive difference in your marriage.   
Gavin and Erika (Indiana)

The TSM ministry saved our marriage at a time we were feeling miserable in our relationship not knowing why we were having the same and constant challenges. Going to the seminar was the one last shot we gave ourselves. We realized there that we didn’t know how to love each other the adequate way. We also discovered the purpose for our marriage, serving in marriage and family ministry. We had that ministry in mind, but were reluctant to be involved knowing that we were struggling. TSM helped us "detox" and stabilize our marriage to now be able serve others. We would definitely recommend TSM and are so glad to be part of the leadership team in Belgium! 
Serguei and Sonia (Belgium)

As an engaged couple, TSM helped us cast a vision for our marriage and learn what our purpose is as a team.
Alli and Devin (Indiana) 

This has been the most useful seminar we have been to as it combines many tools and resources.  It is so helpful that we have to decide on exact plans and write them down.  We talked about things that we have not talked about.  We are lady feel closer and more intimate.  Thank you so much for bringing hope back to our relationship and marriage.  Now we have a plan and commitment to fulfill it.
Daina and Janis (Riga, Latvia) 

TSM was fantastic! It touches on all of the best resources and puts them together in a single course. It is also very practical, giving us great action steps to take next.  Finally, Dave and Mary are just wonderful!
Aaron and Stephanie (Indiana)

This is exactly what we needed. It met both of us where were are, and so naturally spurred us in areas that we have struggled in for years. We are pumped because it gave us a plan. The course “fuses” practical steps and content with faith-based truths to create a truly impactful experience.
Jenna and Justin (Indiana) 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We LOVED this time!
Kara and Robbie (Army) 

TSM allowed us to dive deeper into what makes us both who we are and why we are the way we are. I think God has a greater purpose for us and this weekend has encouraged us to find that purpose.  Alyssa and Jarrod (Indiana) 
TSM helped us to take the time to really look at our marriage as a whole, discuss its strengths and weaknesses and come up with real plans and tools to continue to strengthen us.  It is a great resource to have and will NEVER not be relevant to a couple in any season!
Kara and Jordan (pastors, Greater DC) 

This weekend was not a stereotypical marriage seminar.  It didn’t give us a “to do list” to have a good marriage.  It gave us a guide on how to be intentional I show we plan for something beyond ourselves.
Phil and Chelsea (Indiana) 

TSM has really prepared us for full-time ministry together.  We wish we would have taken this course before getting married as a couple on the mission field.

This is the most significant thing we have done together to focus our marriage on mission in the 23 years we have been married.  Mary and Dave are incredible and expertly gifted to lead this amazing weekend!

We learned how we can celebrate our differences.  It’s all about our “attitude and not our aptitude!
Susan and Peter (Frankfurt, Germany) 

We recommend this for seriously dating couples too!
Andrew and Tanya  (Indiana) 

We enjoyed that seminar was practical. It was the first time we made our own coat of arms and defined our values - it was encouraging! We made plan, practical steps how to strengthen our family and become closer to each other. The tasks made us think about things that we do not talk about every day, but wives would love to talk... :)

The TSM seminar is a practical hands-on experience that strengthens a marriage. It exposes areas of strength for celebration and areas of weakness that need work. It gives you an opportunity and the tools to make a plan to strengthen those areas.

Ty and Roz (Indiana) 

Dave and Mary are the example of two different people coming together through God’s design to intentionally reach and enhance couples through TSM.

TSM has helped us start our new marriage on the right foot.  To be able to acknowledge our good parts and develop a plan to work on hurtful habits was helpful.

Thank you for this seminar!  Skip & I have really enjoyed dreaming again, setting goals again and making our significant marriage even more significant. The Design Book has really opened our eyes up to areas that we have just been taking each other for granted.  Because of this program and your time and energy, Skip and I are looking forward to spending eternity together again and leaving a truly powerful legacy to our family members. Our kids are even enjoying hearing about it....if one of us starts to get emotional about something they will start saying, “Hey, I think you are flooding"….lol.
