FOR DECK OWNERS
You've Opened the Deck.
Now Open the Conversation.
Welcome to the next step of your T.H.R.I.V.E.S. Journey.
We're so glad you're here.
The 50 conversations in your deck were written for one purpose: to help you and your spouse talk about the things that matter most. Honestly. Tenderly. Without a script.
But a deck of cards is a doorway, not a destination. Whatever those conversations stir up in your marriage, we've built something to help you carry it further. Below are four resources, arranged in the order most couples find useful.
With you in the journey,
Verdun & Vanessa Woods

Cormorant Garamond is a classic font with a modern twist. It's easy to read on screens of every shape and size, and perfect for long blocks of text.
The seven pillars behind your deck are measurable: Trust, Harmony, Role Clarity, Intimacy, Vitality, Eternal Outlook, and Sustainability. In about ten minutes, the free T.H.R.I.V.E.S. Self-Assessment gives you a scorecard across all seven, along with the one pillar most worth your attention right now.
Take it separately from your spouse, then compare. The conversation that follows is often the most valuable one you'll have all month.
GO DEEPER
The Book Behind the Cards
A Marriage that THRIVES: 7 Keys to a Lifetime of Abundance
is where the framework was first laid out in full. Every card in your deck traces back to a principle in these pages.
If the deck asks the questions, the book explains why they matter, along with what Scripture, research, and decades of walking alongside couples have to say about the answers.
WALK IT OUT
Marriage Coaching with Verdun Woods
Some conversations need a guide. Whether you're rebuilding after something hard, preparing for marriage, or simply refusing to settle for a marriage that's merely fine, we'd count it a privilege to walk with you.
Verdun leads the coaching, drawing on decades of ministry alongside married couples and the same T.H.R.I.V.E.S. framework your deck is built on. Vanessa joins for sessions where a wife's perspective is what a couple needs most. Coaching is available in Jacksonville and virtually, worldwide.
"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
May your conversations be honest, your listening be generous, and your marriage be one that thrives.
