About Arise & Rebuild Marriage Mediation

Our journey together began in 2018 in Bible school. Alex and I started as friends, drawn together by shared faith and shared friendships, purpose, and God’s calling. Over two years, that friendship grew into a love with a shared desire to honor God in everything we did. When we finally said “I do,” we believed we were ready for anything… but life had a way of teaching us lessons we weren’t expecting.

Blending our families of 6 children brought challenges we weren’t prepared for. Just six months into our marriage, we launched a business together. The stress of running a new venture while navigating blended family dynamics quickly began to reveal cracks we hadn’t seen before. Arguments felt bigger, patience wore thin, and love alone didn’t feel like enough. We were trying, but we were struggling — and for the first time, we feared that maybe our marriage wouldn’t survive the pressures of life.

It was in that moment of vulnerability that we reached out to XO Marriage. Their guidance became a lifeline. Through prayer, mentorship, and practical biblical tools, we learned not just how to survive, but how to thrive. We discovered how to communicate without anger, resolve conflicts with grace, and put God truly at the center of our relationship. Step by step, the tension eased, love deepened, and hope returned.

Ashley’s Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies allows her to approach marriage with both heart and wisdom, bringing biblical truth to real-life struggles. With years of ministry experience mentoring men, Alex brings a wise and empathetic perspective to helping men thrive in their marriages. Together, we now guide couples through their own challenges — helping them navigate blended families, communication struggles, and life’s unexpected pressures — all while showing that marriage can succeed when God is at the center.

We know firsthand that marriage is hard work. But we also know that it is worth it. With the right tools, the right guidance, and God’s help, you don’t just survive — you thrive. Your marriage can flourish, and we are here to help you make that a reality.

At Arise & Rebuild Marriage Mediation, our mission is to help couples strengthen their relationships and overcome any challenges they may face. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and learn effective communication and problem-solving skills.
