This testimony tells the story of a wife who chose covenant love even through repeated betrayal, absence, and heartbreak. Through prayer, endurance, and faith in God’s promises, her husband was restored and their marriage redeemed. Her story reminds us: if we do not give up, we will see the glory of God in our marriages.

So many marital frustrations trace back to one root: misplaced expectation. When our hope rests on a spouse’s performance, disappointment is inevitable. This letter invites wives to shift their gaze to the Lord—“my expectation is from Him” (Ps. 62:5)—and to receive every act from their husband as a gift, not a demand. Trade checklists for gratitude and watch love, peace, and joy grow.

Marriage isn’t just about not doing the wrong thing — it’s about intentionally choosing the right thing toward your spouse. When we remember that we are “one flesh,” we stop treating each other's weaknesses as burdens and instead stay connected, supportive, and united. Every step toward each other strengthens the marriage; every step away invites division.

If someone had told me before marriage that God created me with my husband in mind, I would’ve melted at how romantic that sounded. But when real life hit, those words stung more than they comforted.

Years of heartache and growth later, I finally see the truth: I really was created with Matt in mind — not as something lesser, but as something GOOD. God’s Word calls wives a “good thing” and a channel of His favor. We were designed to bring help, strength, and grace into our husbands’ lives — and in doing so, we reflect God’s own goodness.

So take heart, wife. You are not an afterthought or an accessory. You are a living expression of God’s favor — His GOOD gift to your husband, created to shine His goodness right in your home.

When God gives you a vision, He already has the provision.

In this heartfelt letter, Matthew and Jessica Curtis share how a simple pool vision became a living testimony of God’s GOODNESS. Without asking anyone or striving to make it happen, God orchestrated every detail — even stirring a friend’s heart to sow into the very dream He had placed in theirs.

This story isn’t about a pool — it’s about a GOOD Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children. His desire is to bless your marriage, your family, and every area of your life so that His goodness shines through you. When you trust Him, He turns desires into testimonies and vision into reality.

The Gospel isn’t just good advice—it’s GOOD NEWS from a GOOD God. Every time we open our hearts to His Word, we invite His goodness to manifest in our lives, marriages, and families.

In this letter, Matthew and Jessica Curtis remind us that to experience the goodness of God, we must first hear and know it. The same Jesus who preached good news to the poor, healed the brokenhearted, and set captives free is still doing GOOD today.

No matter what your marriage, home, or situation looks like right now, the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel declares: healing is possible, restoration is available, and your best days are still ahead. God isn’t withholding His goodness—it’s already been poured out through Jesus!

While celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in Playa del Carmen, Jessica and I found ourselves surrounded by God’s beauty — turquoise waters, gentle breezes, and rest for our souls. As we soaked in His goodness, something incredible happened: we began to dream bigger. Suddenly, the idea of having a pool in our own backyard didn’t feel far-fetched at all — it felt possible.

God’s goodness has a way of expanding our vision. When we stop limiting Him to what we think we can afford or accomplish on our own, we make room for the impossible to become reality. Whether it’s a pool, a healed marriage, or a new dream for your family, His goodness births vision — and that vision, partnered with faith, makes the unseen seen.

Because when God’s people display His goodness in their lives, He gets the glory. And as Jesus said, when He is lifted up, He draws all people to Himself.

So lift your eyes higher today. The same God who paints oceans and planets is more than able to pour out His goodness in your life — abundantly.

After 20 years of marriage, Matthew and Jessica Curtis have found more joy, laughter, and love than ever before — and they say it’s not because they’re perfect, but because of the Lord.

In this powerful encouragement, they remind us that rejoicing is the key to refreshing your marriage and drawing on the power of God. When couples choose joy, even in challenges, God restores what’s been broken and breathes new life into the relationship.

As Isaiah 12:3 declares, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” If your marriage needs a fresh outpouring of love and strength, start rejoicing again — and watch the Lord bring you out stronger than ever.

Many marriages get stuck in a silent standoff: “I’ll give love when I feel respected,” or “I’ll show respect when I feel loved.” But Jesus didn’t wait—He loved first. When husbands and wives each choose to obey God’s Word without waiting on the other, the marriage becomes a threefold cord, bound together with Christ, unbreakable and strong.

Every marriage faces disappointment — but much of that pain stems from misplaced expectation. When we expect our spouse to fill every need, we set ourselves up for frustration. But when we place our expectation on God, He fills our hearts with peace, joy, and the strength to love without conditions.

Jessica Curtis shares her personal journey of learning to let go of demands and receive her husband as a gift, not a checklist. Through Scripture, humor, and real-life stories, she reminds wives that God alone is the Source of every good thing.

If you’ve been weary from unmet expectations or frustrated by your spouse’s flaws, this letter will refresh your faith and show you how to love freely again — not by control, but by trust in the One who never disappoints.

Deep within every marriage lies treasure — not always seen on the surface, but planted by God Himself. Like diamond diggers who search through the dirt with faith and expectation, we too must look beyond imperfections to uncover the precious gifts hidden within our spouse.

In this message, Matthew and Jessica Curtis remind us that the good we choose to see and value is the good we will experience. Honor draws out what’s hidden; love uncovers what’s buried. Your husband or wife is full of God-given gems just waiting to shine — but they’re revealed only to those who will dig in faith, not frustration.

Pray for eyes to see the good, wisdom to draw it out, and a heart that treasures the one God gave you.

Marriage gives us daily chances to live by faith—not by what we see. When issues arise, Scripture teaches us to take them to God, not into our own hands. Pray in faith, add patience, and let the Lord send the right “laborers” to your spouse’s heart.

Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that faith is the evidence of what we don’t yet see, and Colossians 4:2 shows us how to wait well: keep praying, stay watchful, and be thankful. That gratitude guards your prayers while God is working behind the scenes—even when it looks unchanged.

Instead of pushing, trust. Instead of fixing, pray. As faith and patience work together, you’ll watch God bring real, lasting change in you, your spouse, and your marriage.

Yes—your spouse can change. But not by your pushing, correcting, or trying to fix them. Scripture shows that real, lasting change happens when God touches the heart—and He often uses divine connections (Matthew 9:37–38) to do it.

Instead of straining to make your spouse see, do, or become something, this letter teaches how to pray for God-sent laborers, trust His timing, and stay out of His way.

Just like God surrounded Saul with the right people and turned him into another man (1 Samuel 10:6–9), He can elevate your spouse too—into a higher place of grace, calling, maturity, and love.

Won’t He do it? Yes, He will.

Peace is a gift Jesus paid for, yet it can be quickly lost when we let pride, careless words, or strife slip in. This Christmas, choose to hold your peace. Guard your mouth, walk in humility, and let the peace of Christ rule in your home so your celebrations reflect Him—the Prince of Peace.

When your home is established in righteousness, everything changes. Peace reigns, fear leaves, confidence rises, and victory becomes your normal.

In this follow-up to Established in Righteousness (Part 1), Matthew and Jessica Curtis unpack the five powerful effects of living from your God-given position in Christ: unlimited peace, freedom from fear, protection from destruction, unshakable confidence, and victory in every area of life.

When you and your family believe you are the righteousness of God in Christ—and live like it—your household becomes a dwelling place of peace, provision, and blessing.

Righteousness isn’t a feeling—it’s a gift we receive in Jesus. When a home is established in righteousness, Scripture promises it will stand (Prov. 12:7) and overflow with peace, confidence, and protection (Isa. 54:13–15; 32:17–18).

This letter unpacks what “the house of the righteous” looks like—and how to build that atmosphere for your marriage and children. As you believe what God has made you in Christ and teach it at home, shame loses its grip, fear fades, and the fruit is clear: unlimited peace, no fear, no destruction, rock-solid confidence, and victory every time.

Healthy, joy-filled marriages don’t “happen”—they grow. Scripture gives us the target: Christ and the Church (Eph. 5). This letter casts a clear vision for husbands and wives to mature together—leading and serving in love, honoring God’s order, and “pressing on” (Phil. 3:12–14). As you practice biblical roles with humility and unity, your home flourishes and your marriage becomes a living picture of Jesus and His Bride.

If you want spiritual results in your marriage, you have to be spiritual. This letter unpacks Romans 8 and Galatians 5 to show why flesh fuels fear, pride, and strife—and how a renewed mind plus real fellowship with the Holy Spirit turns your home into a place of life and peace. Includes practical “small swaps” (Proverbs-a-day, prayer on your commute, worship in everyday moments) to strengthen your spirit and quiet the flesh.

After 19 years, we’ve learned this: marital “trouble” lives in the flesh—and peace flourishes in the Spirit. This letter unpacks Galatians 5 and Romans 8 to show how renewing your mind in the Word shifts you from contention, pride, and impatience to love, joy, peace, and self-control. Choose the Spirit daily, and watch marriage conflict fade while unity and closeness grow.
