Just
A marriage starter kit for couples in their first few years.
Married
You've been dreaming about this moment forever and it's finally here.
You met your person, you fell in love, you got married, you drove off into the sunset, and now you're newlyweds — setting up a brand new life together.
You're happy and grateful and excited for the future.
First comes love,
then comes marriage, then comes... real life.
But also...
Some aspects of marriage have been different than you expected
Some aspects of marriage have been different than you expected
You’re wondering, “Is this normal?” And also, “How do we fix this!?” Out of all the dreams you had for marriage, becoming a bickery old-married couple right out of the gate was not one of them.
You were so excited to share a home, but now that you are, who does what and how to do it is as clear as the dirty water in the cereal bowl that's STILL 'soaking' in the sink.
(Seriously, why do they load the dishwasher that way, and am I really the only one who can see that the trash is overflowing!?)
And you just didn't anticipate that it would be. You know something needs to change, but you have no idea how to change it (or even how to have the conversation without it being super awkward or hurting your partner's feelings!)
You’re not fighting or bickering but you’re also not feeling as loved or cherished or connected as you thought you would as a newlywed. The honeymoon phase isn't quite as romantic as people said it would be and your insecurities are running wild as a result.
1.
2.
3.
4.
And you're not sure you're navigating them right...
You're trying to figure out family, money, work, schedules, responsibilities, friends, mental health, grocery shopping, dentist appointments and more — how to balance, manage, and share it all. It's real life and it's just HARD.
5.
Maybe you're bickering more than you imagined — or even full-on fighting
Maybe being roommates has been kinda tricky
Maybe sex has been a challenge
maybe you're feeling insecure (or even a bit lonely!)
Maybe life is just really challenging right now
Marriage is great, but you're not sure how to be a wife AND a sister, friend, employee, daughter, etc. etc. etc. all at the same time. Or maybe your marriage is suffering because of other relationships — you can't stop fighting about how much your mom comes over or how much time he wants to spend with friends.
6.
Maybe your other relationships are struggling
(all of these things are very normal, by the way!)
You've seen what marriage can turn into, after all. You know couples (maybe even in your own family) whose marriages have crashed and burned and taken their whole families down with them.
You also know couples who are still married, but who couldn't be more disconnected. They always seem to be complaining about each other, irritating each other, and arguing. They don't seem to enjoy each other anymore. They seem to have forgotten why they fell in love in the first place.
You know people who are deeply lonely in their marriages, couples who stopped trying years ago. They might as well just be roommates — the romance (and their friendship!) is totally gone.
Bottom Line: You just really want to do this well.
You do NOT want this to be your story
(You repeat: DO NOT!)
Are there things you can do to set your marriage up for success? Are there things you should be doing to keep your marriage from failing?
You're not sure why this happens in marriages and so you're not sure how to keep it from happening in yours.
If so, what are those things and how do you do them??
The problem is...
When we got engaged, we knew getting married would be a big life transition. But overnight it turned into the biggest transition of our lives.
Three months before our wedding, we were both laid off from our jobs. In an instant, our paychecks, our plans for our careers, our homes, our community, our mentors — all of it was ripped out from under us.
And so suddenly, we weren’t just combining our lives together, we were building a whole new life from scratch.
OUR STORY:
We had to make some massive decisions in rapid-succession, navigate some very real grief, look for new jobs, a new home, a new community, and do it all with very little money.
Carl and I already knew all the things we had in common, but we quickly learned all the things we didn't have in common — how we handle grief and uncertainty and big decisions, for example.
It was a team-building challenge of mammoth proportions that we frankly didn't have the tools to navigate. 😬🫠
I was totally freaking out, and I think a lot of newlyweds find themselves in the same place.
You know a successful marriage, a happily ever after, isn't a guarantee.
You recognize that you're laying the foundation for your life together right now, and you want to make sure it's a strong one — without big holes or even bigger regrets.
But you're just not sure how to do that.
At least, that's how I felt. 👆
You know what changes everything? Help.
Around our first anniversary, we had several people check in with us — ask us thoughtful questions and give us space to give honest answers. They weighed in, gave us fantastic advice and guided us through some issues that otherwise would have kept us stuck for years.
The truth is, marriage is WAY too important to just DIY — to throw at the wall and hope it sticks. But bringing in people with more perspective, insight, experience, and expertise to help you, walk you through it, keep you going, and keep you on the right path — it changes everything.
I know it did for us.
We have a fantastic marriage and I truly believe it's because we haven't done it on our own.
And so now — ten years into marriage — we want to turn around and be to other couples what so many people have been for us.
We want to help couples fill the potholes before they become canyons. Some wonderful couples did that for us and we're so honored to get to pay that forward.
Just Married
Introducing
In Just Married, we'll help you get on the same page in six of the trickiest (and most important!) areas of your marriage and life together.
In the course you'll learn what you need to do today to set yourselves up for the marriage, the family, and the life you both want in the future.
Very few couples stumble into a marriage and a life they love.
We'll help you build a path to get there.
"There were so many times I looked at my husband during the course and said, 'Every couple needs to take this!'
There are so many practical tips and concepts that I know will truly help us minimize (or even totally prevent!) issues in the future. Every single section was incredibly valuable, and we will take these lessons to heart for the rest of our lives."
Words from michelle
"This course is so worth your time. It's truly a priceless investment in your future.
The course helps bring you closer together, and helps you talk through things you might not normally bring up on your own. Not only that, but it’s such a comfortable, casual setting. You feel like you’re getting to have dinner with Carl and Stephanie every week. We positively loved it."
and claire
"Before we found this course, we felt stuck, alone, and desperate for help — this course changed everything!
It's not that Steph and Carl waved a magic wand and fixed it all for us — but they met us where we were at, shared their own experiences with us, pointed us towards invaluable resources and ultimately JESUS. And it made all the difference for us."

The course will help you talk through the areas of life that cause the most problems for married couples (especially in the early years!), and it'll help you start these conversations early — before they become massive issues.

This course will help you...
Get on the same page now
The course will help you get on the same page about what you want your new life together to be like and make a plan for how you’re going to work together to make that life a reality.
Make a plan
While it functions like a course (full of practical, actionable information), this six-week course will feel more like a series of date nights — helping your love and connection and partnership grow.
04
Most of our pre-marital education happens before we've identified our real trouble spots. And then a lot of us wait for true couples therapy until we're dealing with really big problems. But we're on a mission to bridge the gap. This course will help fill in some potholes together — before little problems turn into big ones.

Like a pre-marital counseling do-over for your wedding

The course covered so many important topics and helped us have some incredibly meaningful conversations. Our communication is so much better than it was before, and that’s made our relationship even stronger."

"We are truly so much more connected to each other because we took this course.

We have answers!
Have questions?
Great question! So many of us are new to the world of online courses (and they can feel a bit confusing at times!), so let’s break down what it actually looks like to join us.
The course is made up of three main parts:
1. Six Video Sessions
Each week, we'll send you an email with a brand new video to watch. You can watch (and re-watch!) the videos whenever works best for you. Our hope is that our time together in the videos feels more like six dinner dates than a class! We hope you will order in, or make dinner ahead of time, and curl up on the couch together to join us.
Carl and I have so much to teach and share with you (including so many personal stories of our own — things we did well, and things we would definitely go back and do differently if we could!)
You'll have access to those video replays indefinitely (for as long as the course exists, which we're hoping is for years and years to come!) which means you can go back and re-watch videos whenever you need a refresher, a reminder, or just a pep talk!
Whenever you do watch the videos, we do recommend that you reserve an additional hour each week for the next part of the course...
2. The workbook
Along with one video per week, we'll also send you workbook pages to go along with the video. It will either be a short activity or a series of questions to answer together, but this is where the good stuff happens.
This is the moment when you take what you learned from the video and put it into practice in your own relationship. This will be a time of opening up, of vulnerability, of getting to know each other on a deeper, more meaningful level, of falling more in love. This is the time when you ask big important questions and really take the time to listen to each other's answers.
This is where you start to get on the same page about what you want your life together to look like and when you make a plan for how you're actually going to make that a reality.
Then, last but not least, there's...
3. The 1-on-1 call with Steph and Carl
Everyone who signs up for the course will have an opportunity to have a 30-minute one-on-one call with either Stephanie or Carl. (You can also opt in for an hour-long 2-on-2 if you want to have your call together!). This was our favorite part of teaching the course last time. We can't wait to get to know you better!
So, that's the course! If you have any additional questions about the structure of the course or how it will work, please do not hesitate to reach out! We're always here to help! (Hello@StephanieMayWilson.com)
Great question! We've designed the course for couples who have gotten married in the last few years. But if you're seriously dating, engaged, or have been married for longer, you're also totally welcome to join us. If the course sounds like it would be helpful for you, we'd love to have you!
Nope! Not at all. Currently, Carl and I are living in Spain (so we're on a totally different time-zone from most of our community!) and we're NOT trying to make us all crazy by trying to find a time that works for everybody. That's why we're going to be pre-recording the videos and we'll have them uploaded onto our private course website (you'll get access to that as soon as you sign up for the course!). That way you can watch the video at the time that works best for you!
You'll receive the first module of content on October 21st, and the last module of content on the 25th of November (We'll finish just in time for Thanksgiving!)
This course is for couples! So men and women are both invited. The course will be taught by Carl and Stephanie Wilson, and it's designed for you to watch together!
I totally hear you. The thought of spending an extra dollar on anything right now is truly hard to stomach.
(We lost four jobs between the two of us before our first anniversary — we know how tight money can be.)
But even so, we don't offer any scholarships or discounts (other than if you sign up in the first 24 hours!). That's for two reasons:
The first is that we've done everything we can to offer this course at a rock-bottom price. Comparable programs, retreats, and mentorships are usually offered for upwards of 1,000 dollars! (Especially when you factor in travel and lodging and meals and more). And so because we want as many couples to be able to participate as possible, we’ve tried to keep the cost as low as possible.
The other reason we don’t do discounts or scholarships is because we know there’s such a strong correlation between what we put into something and what we get out of it. When we’ve invested our hard-earned money into something, we’re more likely to give it the best of our time and our effort. You really will get so much more out of this course because you have some skin in the game. It’s crazy how it works that way. But it’s really true!
But still, we know how tight our budgets can be, and so that's why we created a special 12-month payment plan. We're hoping that makes it possible for you to join us!
When you pictured your first few years of marriage, you pictured romance, right? But the truth is, romance can be a bit hard to come by during this season of life. You're going through an enormous transition, you're still responsible for every part of your normal life, but now you're trying to figure out how to do them together. It's a lot — and not always romantic.
But we’re here to help. Our hope is that instead of watching these videos individually, that you'd carve out an evening and watch them together.
Make dinner, light a candle, curl up on the couch together and join the call! We'll walk through a section together and then give you plenty of time to discuss, dream, pray, and work through a series of questions or an activity once we're finished.
This is going to work like a course (in that you'll walk away with a ton of practical, actionable information and next steps), but it'll feel much more like a date night!
You'll finish the course having had six wonderful, intimate, connective date nights with each other.
Great question! If you keep pace with us, the course should take about two hours per week for six weeks in a row. We recommend devoting one evening to it — watching it during dinner and then instead of curling up with Netflix, curling up with your course workbook and talking through the questions together.
We know it is so hard to find time for anything extra — especially during busy seasons of life.
We also know that the work you put into your relationship on the front-end through this course will pay off and truly save you so much time later down the road.
Because you talked through so many of these things, got on the same page, made a plan, and did it now – you will truly spend so much less time feeling frustrated with each other, and honestly, fighting about these things from now on.
(We say this from experience. Face-palm)
But of course, that doesn’t change the fact that you’re really busy. If this is you, know that once you sign up for the course you will have access to the material for as long as the course exists (which we hope is years and years to come!).
So if you need to wait a few weeks to start watching the videos, or even wait a few months until summer or another time that's a bit more open for you, or if you need to spread them out so you do one every few weeks instead of one per week, you can absolutely do that. You can go at your own pace. The content isn't going anywhere. (And you can come back and re-watch the videos any time you need a refresher!)
Once you sign up for the course, you'll have access to all of the material for as long as the course exists, which we hope is for years and years to come!
The truth is, we're not sure! We may be offering the course one more time this year, but also, this may be the only time we ever teach it. There is also the chance that if we do teach it another time, the price will increase by then.
So if you are interested in the course, we do recommend signing up now. Even if you have to wait and hold onto the content for a while before you're able to fully dive in.
That’s a great question! The last thing we'd ever want you to do is to invest in something that’s not going to really be helpful and beneficial to your life.
So we'll tell you two things:
First: The principles, ideas, and lessons we're going to teach you in this course have been backed up and verified by tons of other experts in the different fields we’re diving into. Not only that, but we have personally used and benefited from each of the things we're going to teach you in this course. We have been the personal guinea pigs for every single thing we're about to share with you, and these things have truly made an enormous difference in our lives and our marriage. (So many of our friends and mentors have experienced the same things!)
Second: That being said, whether this works in your life is really up to you. You will get as much out of this course as you put into it. But I know that if you put your heart, your time, and your effort into this course and actually put these things into practice, it will make a huge difference in your relationship.
However, if you go through this entire course and feel that it wasn’t helpful, let us know and we will refund you 100%. More than anything, we want this to be truly helpful for you!
Absolutely. More than anything, we want this to be helpful and beneficial to your life. And so if you make it through the course and feel like this wasn’t helpful, we would be more than happy to give you your money back (Not happy, because we'll be sad that it wasn’t helpful… you know what we mean!)
But we do have three things we’ll ask you to do before we give you a refund:
- We ask that you complete the course first and submit all of your completed worksheets to us. We want you to really put your heart into the course, really give it a solid chance before you decide it didn’t work.
- We ask that you include a note to us explaining why the course wasn’t beneficial to you. We want to continue to make this course better, and so if it didn’t work, it’s important that we can understand why.
- We ask that you submit your refund request within 45 days of when you signed up for the course. Since the course is only six weeks long, we won’t be able to give refunds after those 45 days are up.
Absolutely not! Anyone is welcome! Full-disclosure, we do both come from a Christian faith tradition, so there will likely be mentions of prayer, the Bible, and Jesus during our teachings. BUT, we do strongly believe that the things we're sharing are applicable to all couples — no matter your faith tradition.
This course is designed to be an encouraging resource and a step in a healthy, positive direction, but it is not a replacement for professional in-person mentorship, counseling, or therapy.
We are not licensed therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors.
But we are HUGE fans of people who are.
Our hope is that this course is a great supplement to marriage counseling. There are things you'll be able to talk about in counseling that we won't cover here, or won't be able to cover as personally. But also, there are things we'll share and teach that you may not go over in marriage counseling.
Our hope is that they can work in tandem instead of you feeling like you should choose one or the other.
We totally understand! We want this to be something you are both excited about and both willing to do. (A marriage course isn't super helpful when it's just one-sided!).
So our hope is that you are able to find something you both feel good about. And if this is not that thing, that's totally okay!
Great question! Before you sign up for the course, please take a minute to review both our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. Just click those links to check them out!
The first was with my friend Hanna. Hanna had been married longer than us (and is just one of my wisest friends). We met up for coffee and once we had our lattes firmly in hand, she said, "So... how's marriage actually going?"
That day she showed me that I didn't have to do this alone and I didn't have to do it with a fake facade covering up the difficult parts. I could have someone on my team to help me do this massively important thing that I'd never done before.
I got to be so honest that day — to tell her about the things that were going well and the sticky spots we just couldn't seem to get through. Knowing that I could have people in my corner — REALLY in my corner — throughout my marriage changed everything.
And then a week later, on our first anniversary, we were invited over to coffee by the couple who did our pre-marital counseling.
We have you covered, friend! Just send us an email at Hello@StephanieMayWilson.com. 🙂
