    About this ebook

    How strong is your foundation? Were you ready for marriage when you said, "I DO"? Who taught you how to love? What are your non-negotiables? Are you expecting your spouse to complete you? Does having a happy wife really ensure a happy life? These were just some of the questions that came to mind as my husband and I contemplated divorce. Two years later, we are stronger than we have ever been. However, getting to this point required us to decipher how we landed at such a low point in our marriage in the first place. While at our lowest point, WE HAD TO ASK A QUESTION.
    Do we Re-Evaluate, Repair or Rebuild our foundation? God said, "if you want a new foundation, one that will withstand it all, do all 3. But this time, do it with ME!"

    In this book you will discover insight, devotions, prayers, and declarations to help guide you in establishing a new and stable foundation for yourself and your marriage.

      FIRST EDITION

      Dedication

      God, I thank you for your grace, discernment, guidance, and love. These are your words to your people. It is an honor to know that I am an essential vessel being used for your glory.

      To Elwin, thank you for being everything I never knew that I needed. I look forward to doing life with you and continuing to help each other grow individually and collectively. We were created for each other. Let’s get ready to show the world exactly what God had up His crisp white sleeve. I love you!

      To my boys, CMC1 & CMC2, thank you for fueling me every step of the way. You both love me in ways I have never experienced, and I love you both as unique as you were created. I pray that my drive encourages you both to know that there is so much potential just waiting to be released. Never stop being amazing! Never stop trusting God!

      To my family, thank you for encouraging me, praying for me, and pushing me to be the best version of myself. I love you all!

      To my Sister-Friends. You know who you are, and you know what you mean to me. Thank you for being my Aaron and Hur and keeping me lifted when I could not find the strength.

      Last, but certainly not least. To my angel who has always supported me in everything. Kejuan. I love you. I promised you I would never take my gifts to my grave and I plan to keep that promise. I did it, bro! I hope I am making you proud!

      About the Author

      The Foundation

      April 06, 2018 was the day that a permanent title was placed on our marriage. Divorce-Limited will forever be what you see when you search the records in our local court system. However, when you see us today, you would never know that our marriage had been labeled as such. Here we are, two years later, another child added to our amazing family and better than we have ever been. How? Because WE decided that WE would determine our title and the status of our marriage. Divorce-Limited, for us, meant that divorce CAN be limited if you do your part. It meant that we COULD decide that we wanted something better and work hard at it. It meant that we were NOT required to be a statistic. However, we first had to figure out how we got to that point.

      Foundation, by definition, is the lowest load-bearing part of a building, typically below ground level. Often you hear that you are only as strong as your foundation, and, in relationships, that is undoubtedly true. So, we had to do what I like to call a Relationship Inspection. If you know anything about the home buying process, you understand how important the inspection is. Simply put, this is where you check for structural damage and see what needs to be re-evaluated, repaired, or rebuilt. And those three steps are EXACTLY what we needed to do for our marriage. Re-evaluate how we were doing things, repair what could be fixed, and completely replace or rebuild certain things that could no longer occupy a space in our relationship for us to work.

      According to society, we had already done things out of order. After just two years of being in a relationship, we welcomed our first child. I was 24 years old, on the 24th of the month, 24 weeks pregnant, and could not tell you 24 things about being a parent. When I say, we were WINGING it, My Lord! A year later, my husband deployed. It was his second deployment, but the first since we had been together. Three days before he left, we had the bright idea of getting married. If you know anything about Military forms, having to fill out ONE more form about my child who was born out of wedlock was going to send me overboard. So, we thought, why not? We were already engaged, and the big wedding was set for when he returned. Why not make it easier on ourselves, right?! WRONG! We knew absolutely nothing about marriage and more importantly, other than the fact that we slightly loved each other (listen, I am trying to be as open
