Your emotional healing will also take time.

Do you have a favorite story from your work?Yes! Several years ago, there was a couple at my church on the brink of divorce. They tried counseling but were still on shaky ground. They heard that my husband and I provided emotional healing services and signed up for the next group class at church. They are still together and just had their second child. They told us that if it weren’t for the Genesis Process, they would not be together. We were so thrilled that they committed to the process, to each other, and to their marriage!
