Mission Driven Marriage Transformation
Every couple is just one intentional decision away from a phenomenal marriage—
A marriage where both spouses feel deeply valued, genuinely understood, and unconditionally loved.
Founded by Debra and Jabari Steward, Mission- Driven Marriage Transformational Architects
And creators of The Keeping It Lit Signature Framework for Marriage Transformation,
Keeping It Lit Media serves Mission-Driven couples who are ready to take their marriage from "fine" to truly phenomenal.
The Root Cause of Marital Struggles In One Word
Beneath the surface of every marital struggle, there is one underlying cause.
One word that holds the key to understanding it all:
Disconnect.
Disconnect from God and disconnect from each other.
Disconnect erodes emotional, physical, and spiritual connection,
Leading to feelings of isolation, frustration, and frequent misunderstandings.
The Impact of Marital Disconnect
You’ve been showing up—faithfully.
For your calling. For your family. For everything on the calendar.
But in the midst of it all,
Intentional time with each other has taken a back seat.
There’s been more focus on completing tasks
Than on intentional time connecting with each other—
On managing life instead of truly seeing,
Knowing, and loving one another.
The Silent Strain of Marital Disconnect
When left unchecked, disconnect can take a heavy toll—emotionally, mentally, and even financially. Many couples who experience this breakdown eventually find themselves facing divorce, a decision that doesn’t just dissolve a marriage but leaves lasting scars on everyone involved. But this doesn’t have to be your story.
