About Power & Love Marriage
We believe God forms people, strengthens relationships, and transforms lives through His truth, His grace, and His redemptive work.
Power & Love Marriage exists to help individuals and couples intentionally engage what God is doing in their lives and relationships through Christ-centered biblical counseling, relationship training, and personalized care.
We believe healthy relationships are not built by accident—they are formed intentionally over time as God transforms hearts through His truth, His grace, and His redemptive work.
Our desire is not simply to help people solve problems, but to experience lasting formation that strengthens relationships, equips families, and reflects the love of Christ for generations to come.
WHY WE EXIST
Christ-Centered Foundation
We believe lasting transformation begins with Christ. Every Formation Experience is rooted in biblical truth, prayer, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, helping individuals and couples experience God's active strength in every season of life and relationship.
Intentional Formation
Lasting change is cultivated over time. Our Formation Experiences are intentionally designed to move beyond information, helping individuals and couples cooperate with God's transforming work through biblical teaching, guided reflection, meaningful practices, and practical application.
Practical Application
Biblical truth is meant to be lived, not simply learned. Every Formation Experience includes intentional exercises, guided reflection, and practical application designed to strengthen everyday relationships.
Formation Over Performance
We believe healthy relationships are not built through pressure, perfection, or quick fixes. They are cultivated as God faithfully forms our hearts over time, creating lasting patterns that strengthen relationships for every season of life.
MEET DANE AND PAOLA
The Lord has graciously written a story of redemption, restoration, and ongoing transformation in our own marriage—one that continues to remind us of His faithfulness and power at work in relationships.
Coming from very different backgrounds, we have experienced firsthand how God's love can unite hearts, strengthen families, and shape a shared purpose. Through the years, He has used both the joys and challenges of our journey to deepen our dependence on Him and strengthen our commitment to one another.
That experience has fueled a deep passion for helping individuals and couples discover the strength, hope, and wisdom God provides for every season of life and relationship. We believe that when people learn to intentionally build relationships on biblical truth and healthy foundations, the impact extends far beyond a marriage—it influences families, communities, and generations to come.
Today, through biblical counseling, relationship training, cohorts, intensives, workshops, and personalized care pathways, we come alongside individuals and couples seeking greater clarity, stronger connection, healthier patterns, and Christ-centered growth.
We don't believe relationships are transformed through quick fixes or formulas. Meaningful growth happens through intentional formation, honest reflection, practical application, and dependence on Christ over time.
In addition to our work through Power & Love Marriage, we also serve pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders, and other caregivers through Preserved International, an outreach of Therismos Gospel Project, providing Christ-centered care, encouragement, and support for those who continually care for others.

MORE THAN OUR STORY
The Gospel is a story of redemption.
It is the story of a God who brings life from death, beauty from ashes, and hope where it once seemed impossible.
We've experienced His faithfulness in our own journey—not because the road was easy, but because He patiently shaped our hearts, taught us humility, and continued His work in us through every season.
That journey became part of the calling behind Power & Love Marriage.
We invite you to watch and hear more.
Wherever You Are, There's a Next Step.
Whether you're preparing for marriage, strengthening your relationship, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking for greater clarity, we'd be honored to come alongside you.
Every relationship is different, which is why we offer thoughtful experiences and personalized care designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with wisdom, hope, and intentionality.
