Marriage. Family. God.
Because maximizing your most important relationships changes everything.

At Doing Family Right, we believe the way we love, connect, and show up for the people closest to us shapes everything else.

Strong marriages anchor families.
Healthy families create secure homes.
And when God is woven into it all, relationships can grow with purpose, grace, and intention.

You were created with value.
You were made for connection.
And you’ll never regret investing in what matters most.

Change can feel impossible when you’ve been stuck for a long time.
But it isn’t.

In this week’s reel, DFR counsellor Anna Brotzel (MA, RCC) speaks directly to anyone who doubts they can change. She reminds us that growth is always possible. Sometimes change happens quickly. Sometimes it comes slowly, through consistent effort and support. Either way, our brains are designed for change.

With time, care, and the right help, new patterns can form and healing can happen.

If you’re feeling discouraged or stuck, this message is for you.

There are moments when the weight you’re carrying feels too heavy to name. Confusion, grief, loss of trust, or a quiet sense that something in your relationship has changed.

For many women, walking alongside a partner who is struggling with po*******hy or sexual addiction brings its own deep wounds. You may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn next.

P.E.R.G.E. (Partner Encouragement Recovery Group Experience) is a recovery group created to support women in their own healing journey in a safe and confidential space.

This is a place to be heard, to reconnect with hope, and to begin moving toward healing with faith, support, and understanding.

When life gets busy, it can feel harder to hear God’s voice. But often, it’s not that God is silent; it’s that life is loud.

DFR counsellor Cam Broad reminds us that hearing from God in busy seasons starts with intentionality.

Making space for prayer and time in the word, and inviting trusted friends and family to pray alongside us. Choosing to slow down and quiet the noise around us.

God still speaks. Sometimes we just need to create the space to listen.

A new year doesn’t require perfection or pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s simply an invitation to receive God’s mercy again, fresh, steady, and sufficient for today.

At Doing Family Right, we believe healing, growth, and transformation happen best when you don’t walk alone. As you step into this new season, we’re here to walk alongside you, supporting you as God does His renewing work in your life, your relationships, and your family.

Grace for today. Hope for what’s ahead.

Most people wait too long to get support.
But the right time isn’t when you’re at a breaking point.

DFR Counsellor Leanne Novakowski (MEd, RCC) shares that when struggles begin impacting your physical health, mental wellbeing, or relationships, it’s time to reach out.

Support isn’t a last resort; it’s a wise step forward.

Here are a few key ideas to build a stronger marriage.

• Address issues early: small problems grow when they’re ignored.
• Stay connected regularly: consistent communication helps prevent breakdown.
• Seek support: counselling offers tools and perspective to keep you moving forward.
• Keep faith at the centre: shared values guide couples through challenges with grace.
• Take practical steps: meaningful conversations, quality time, and intentional habits make a difference.

What happens when families choose to prioritize each other? As Dr. Dave shares in this week’s reel, “when people focus on their marriage and family, all heaven breaks loose.”

We don't regret investing in the people we love. We regret the moments we didn’t slow down, lean in, or make time.

Let this be your reminder to choose what matters most today.

As this year comes to a close, it’s easy to feel pressure to have answers, clarity, or a plan for what’s next. But growth rarely starts with everything figured out.

Sometimes it begins with honesty. Noticing what this year stirred up. With naming what felt heavy and what quietly shaped you.

If this season has left you tired, uncertain, or still carrying questions, you’re not behind. You’re human.

As we head toward a new year, give yourself permission to move forward with grace, not pressure. One step at a time is enough.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Doing Family Right.

This season invites us to slow down and focus on what matters most. Whether you are gathered with family and friends, spending time with a few close loved ones, or finding yourself navigating the holidays quietly and on your own, you are not forgotten.

At Doing Family Right, our heart is to help people strengthen their most important relationships and to find hope and meaning in every season of life. Christmas reminds us that love shows up in simple ways, in presence, kindness, forgiveness, and grace.

Above all, we remember the reason for the season. The gift of Jesus, born to bring light, hope, and peace to a weary world.

May you experience comfort, connection, and hope this Christmas.
