New Marriage, Same Couple: Don’t Let Your Worst Days Be Your Last Days

Josh & Katie Walters

“For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.” We say those words and mean them. Until we don’t. This is a book about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person—no matter how dire the circumstances—with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord.

Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great.

Until it wasn’t.

Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage.

This book lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY:

  • S—start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.)
  • T—take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.)
  • A—allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.)
  • Y—yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)

New Marriage, Same Couple is a book about hope. It’s about how to create a brand-new marriage with your spouse, whether you’ve been married for a short time, or for decades.

  • Don’t go into the weekend defensive. 🤍

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for your marriage is recognize, “I’m in a funk, and I don’t want to take it out on you.” Awareness is the first step. 

It is definitely a tactic of the enemy to keep you stuck in defensiveness so that you are not able to work through problems. When we committed to breaking this cycle it brought amazing benefits!
  • If you found this page, welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.

Whether your marriage is thriving or barely surviving, our prayer is that these short reels and resources would remind you that there is hope.

We don’t speak from a place of having it all together. We speak from a place of experiencing the strength and faithfulness of the Lord. We have known failure. We have walked through deep pain in our marriage. But by God’s grace, we have also experienced the healing, restoration, and abundance that Jesus paid for on the cross.

If He can restore us, He can meet you too.

We’re honored you’re here. If there’s any way we can serve or encourage you, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Welcome. We’re believing with you that your best days are still ahead.
  • There is usually one whose idea of “fun” is getting stuff done. 🫠 Play can seem silly, or even unproductive, but research tells a different story. 
Novel, playful experiences activate the brain’s reward system, create stronger emotional memories, and help couples feel more connected by breaking out of everyday routines.
Literally getting a doctorate to justify being childlike. 😉
So let’s make this a no boring date nights (or days) summer! 
Drop your most creative idea in the comments so we can help those work as play people out!
  • Happy wedding T + T!!! I have been thinking about what I would write to you in a wedding card way to long 😂 so here it is from me to you:

Dearest Taylor and Travis,

Thank you. I believe your love story, like all great ones, is changing the world. 

I want you to know as someone who has been married 24 years, has a court in the back yard and a whole block of children looking like him.
Your wish list is full of wisdom and truly is the good stuff of life! 

However, it will cost you as much as life of a showgirl. Make no mistake.
The alter is where you come to die, dedicate and find a new life of your dreams. Make this a daily practice.

Cheering you on forever, Josh + Katie
