You will never see photos of the couples we serve.
We will never post images of their struggles, their arguments, or their pain. Their stories are private, intimate, and often wrapped in shame, and we will always protect their dignity.

If you want to see the people who use our resources, look around the pews at Mass.
The young couple with the toddler.
The older couple who sit in the same spot every week.
The couple who hold hands.
The couple who never do.

You would never guess which marriages are quietly falling apart, but the need is everywhere.
Most couples who reach out to us say the same thing.
“We did not know anyone faithful was talking about this.”
“We thought this kind of help did not exist.”
“We found you only after sorting through secular advice we could not trust.”

Our mission is simple. We create faithful Catholic resources for couples who are struggling in silence. And we make as much of it free as possible. Articles, videos, moral consultations, and guidance that couples can trust. But to create that content, couples have to find us first. Good content is what keeps us visible when couples go searching for help at midnight, alone with their fears and confusion.

Since relaunching as a nonprofit, AMI has seen more than 11,000 new users in the last 90 days, with 5,800 of those in the last month alone. The need is real. The growth is real. But growth alone cannot pay the bills.

Here is the honest truth. Since August, we have only had a few hundred dollars a month in donations. That does not cover even our basic software tools. It means our team spends many hours fundraising instead of creating content that couples desperately need. We want to build a foundation of 100 monthly supporters so we can stop chasing dollars and get back to serving families full-time.

As many of you know, I am a full-time Army medic. I took leave on Monday and Tuesday to focus on fundraising for this campaign. This is all volunteer time. If we can reach our recurring donor goal quickly, I will spend those days writing new articles, preparing our new marriage prep program, and serving couples directly instead of asking for money.

And now that AMI is a registered 501(c)(3) charity, all donations are tax-deductible. For business owners and anyone who gives charitably at the end of the year, your donation counts. And giving is easy. DonorBox allows you to give with ApplePay or a card in seconds. It is as simple as buying a coffee.

Here is the part no one likes to think about.
We hear from couples who contact us as a last resort before separating. Many do not make it in time. You know families who are divorced. You know children who live in two homes. You know couples who hide their pain well.

Maybe you do not need this ministry. But someone you love does.
And your generosity today might be what saves a marriage tomorrow.

Our Giving Tuesday campaign is live. We are halfway to our initial $1000 goal through one-time gifts, and those will help cover important annual costs. But we still need 100 monthly donors to build the foundation that will carry this mission into 2026.

If you believe in faithful and fulfilling Catholic marriage, I am asking you to help us continue this work.

This is why we need to learn to communicate with deferential love and interpret others’ intent as being positive or benign. See our previous videos on these topics.

Every person we become close to and depend on will eventually trigger something at some point in us (even if it’s minor and infrequent).

Our triggers (the things that activate us) are meaningful information about ourselves — information that deserves to be explored with compassion.

Our triggers can help us understand what’s important to us.

They can bring to surface feelings and experiences that were not initially given the space to fully integrate.

Getting curious about what a trigger is revealing about us, and sharing that information with safe people can be a really powerful bridge for connection.

How triggers are expressed (and responded to) are essential to developing healthy relating.

Here are some prompts to help you explore further when you become triggered/activated:
💫 Am I sharing my experience without attacking or blaming?
💫 Am I clearly expressing what I need?
💫 Do I take the time to explore what my trigger is connected to before sharing?
💫 Do I apologize/repair if I express myself in harsh/critical ways?
💫 Do I give myself permission to (feel) my feelings and allow myself to be witnessed?

Here are some prompts to help you notice how people respond to you when you share:
✨ Do they respond to me with care and sensitivity when I share my triggers in a non-blaming way?
✨ Do they make effort to understand/be curious about my experience?
✨ Do they share their own pain and triggers with me at times?
✨ Do I feel somewhat calmer/more connected to myself/them after I share the root of my trigger?

These prompts are an initial guide.

There is a deeply important discernment process within this exploration.

If you’re doing your own work and still feel like something is feeling off in your relationship, then other skills sometimes need to be developed (or your red flag alert system may be alerting you).

Your triggers are about you .. AND .. how they are managed/empathized with relationally matters a whole lot too.
