Authors Gary Smalley and John Trent once used a simple but powerful image to describe what an open heart looks like:

Hand up. Palm out. Fingers wide.
It’s open—ready to receive love, give grace, and embrace all that God has for you.

But life happens.
Words cut deep. Trust is broken. And slowly, your fingers begin to curl inward.
Until one day, your heart looks like this—closed, tight, guarded.

And when your heart is closed, no one—not even your spouse—can reach you.

If this is you, take heart. Healing begins when you start to unfurl.
It’s a slow process of understanding what caused you to close off—and learning, little by little, to open again.
And sometimes, you can’t do that alone.

That’s why I created Marriage in Bloom, a six-month faith-based intensive that helps you heal what’s been wounded and restore emotional safety—together.
