Flying High on a First Date, Soaring Higher in Marriage with Joseph & Raquel

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you prioritize God's plan over your own timeline? Joseph and Raquel's journey from friendship to marriage reveals the beautiful orchestration that unfolds when we surrender our relationships to divine guidance.What started as a professional coaching relationship quickly blossomed into something deeper as they recognized the light in each other that had been missing in previous relationships. The timeline was remarkably condensed – from dating to engagement  – yet grounded in profound intentionality.Like any powerful testimony, their relationship was tested early. Just thirteen days after becoming a couple, Joseph received the devastating news of his mother's passing. Without hesitation, Raquel flew to Chicago to support him, demonstrating the depth of her commitment. In what can only be described as divine coordination, they attended a church service specifically addressing grief – a moment that showed Raquel the kind of leader Joseph would be through life's inevitable challenges.Their approach to marriage preparation was refreshingly countercultural. Joseph had clearly defined non-negotiables – a woman who loves the Lord, values relationships, embraces a healthy lifestyle, and maintains strong family connections.Now as newlyweds who have launched businesses together, they attribute their success to the foundation of faith they've established. Joseph begins each day with quiet time in God's presence, while they both prioritize health, wellness, and financial responsibility. Their powerful testimony serves as encouragement that when we surrender our desires and follow God's blueprint, He orchestrates a love story far more beautiful than we could design ourselves.Ready to transform your approach to relationships?
