We frequently hear 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 at weddings. On such a happy day, our minds naturally focus on the first part about love being patient and kind, and we easily assume the person we are marrying will effortlessly embody those traits. Yet, as the years go by, we may discover our partner is not a natural at all. In fact, they can sometimes be downright mean and impatient. Disappointment, anger, and resentment can build over feeling unjustly treated. It is then that we remind you, just as we do many of our clients, about the other end of that passage: “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” In a relationship between two inherently flawed humans, we suggest is the commitment embodied in the latter part of this passage that ultimately determines a marriage's success or failure.

Perspective is often the crux of a family law mediation.

We spend significant amounts of time considering whether we are more concerned with what we can have or who we can be.

What, if any, of your possessions are as important to you as being a good mother or father?

Did we just become best friends? 😂 Excited to announce a new partnership with Waco Civic Theatre. Families that “play together,” stay together. Ok, that was a reach, but we do support families that go to and/or participate in theater. Here’s to an exciting lineup in 2026!

God sent me on a mission to show a different way forward for the millions of family law litigants who are currently doing it wrong. I don’t speak on this issue with the passion of a man who stands above it; I speak with passion of a man who has lived through it. I am a divorced man, and I easily could have been divorced twice. Christ redeemed me and gave me purpose and peace—and He will do the same for you!

Come hear my testimony of what Christ did in my life, and what he can do in your life! Learn how family law cases can be handled differently. I’ll throw in a margarita and a taco for free, and you’ll get a chance to make great business connections within the Hispanic community.

“Contentment in and of itself is not complex. Contentment is simply reverence for the grace that is already present in our lives.” – Rolf Gates

In our experience, we have yet to mediate when a lack of contentment wasn't a central issue for one or both partners.

We have seen relationships ruined by drugs, alcohol, infidelity, anger, depression, and jealousy. However, each of these factors is typically a symptom rather than the cause. These emotional reactions and behaviors usually indicate that a person feels trapped in their discontentment or is seeking fulfillment outside of themselves and the relationship. Importantly, this is rarely caused by the relationship itself. Most often, it stems from an internal conflict within the individual.

During mediation, we work to identify the triggers for these feelings. Once identified, we disarm the trigger by recognizing it, analyzing it, and familiarizing ourselves with how it operates within us. This empowers the individual to make a conscious decision not to let that trigger dictate their emotions or behavior.

This process further helps clients realize that ending the relationship will not resolve their internal triggers. In fact, leaving may only add new, larger complications. Ultimately, it is often easier to change one’s reaction to a trigger than to change one’s relationship.

The next time you feel a trigger leading you toward discontentment, try focusing on the grace God has already provided. Your partner can never be "enough" to grant you total contentment. However, you have enough, and you are enough. True contentment is available within you already because God IS, and always will be, enough.

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.” James ‭3‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬

The greatest challenge we face in mediation, day in and day out, is communication—mere words. Sure, we have an occasional case where a spouse or parent becomes violent, or where addiction rears its ugly head. However, those are not the norm. In the majority of cases, the central problem is simply an inability to communicate kindly.

God is fully aware of our inability to control our tongues. Many passages of the Bible speak to this, but what is unique about this verse is the reminder that none of us are perfect in this regard. We will all say something we shouldn't at some point.

This is important because in mediation, the goal is not to find fault or blame. The goal is to find solutions through creativity and respectful communication. If God tells us that none of us are perfect, then we must all accept the need for grace. We are forced to see commonality in our mutual imperfection—which should incline us to offer the same grace we have received.

May I encourage you to take a deep breath and respond rather than react the next time your spouse speaks carelessly? When you hear a biting tone or an inconsiderate word, remember when you may have made the same mistake. Sometimes the best response is no verbal response at all, but it is never an equally aggressive retort.

Choose peace, not revenge.

"Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived." — Abraham Lincoln

When clients dig in, they force a judge to decide their future. While this approach may secure a temporary victory, the cost is high—not just in legal fees or lost privacy, but in future peace.

Court rulings create winners and losers. That loss breeds resentment, which fuels new lawsuits. In Texas, this often triggers a cycle of litigation that can repeat every year until your child becomes an adult.

Our process is different. We help our clients step outside the box and create agreeable solutions that work for the long term. Customization and built-in “springing provisions” in the orders we produce allow for changes without going back to mediation or court.

Drop the never-ending drama. Let’s build a peaceful future together for less than half the cost of traditional litigation.
