HOWÂ WE COACH
Coaching, not counseling.
Coaching helps you name your goals as a couple and build a practical plan to reach them, forward-looking, skill-based, and grounded in faith. It's designed around where you want your marriage to go.
Solution-Focused
We start with your goals and build a clear, practical path to reach them — not endless analysis of the past.
Skill-Based
Learn to communicate, resolve conflict without arguing, build empathy, and deepen intimacy and connection.
Spiritually Enriching
Rooted in Catholic faith, sacramental marriage, and the Theology of the Body, hope for the marriage you desire.
A simple path to lasting change.

What people are saying:
Colin Nykaza
Archdiocese of New York
Damon Owens is one of the most dynamic and entertaining speakers that I have ever come across. His ability to reach the hearts of his audiences with humor, reliability, and substance is truly a gift to family ministry and ministry as a whole. I did not hesitate to book Damon for the Archdiocese of New York and look forward to having him come back time and time again.
Mary, ID
Only by the grace of God, I committed to sessions with Melanie. I hesitated for many years until it was undeniable that I needed guidance. When I was ready to be vulnerable, trusting and cooperating, God led me to Melanie. In just the first 3 sessions, I felt trust, care and confident under her guidance. She prepared me well and was clear with all communication. Thank you for being a part of my journey, Melanie. God is good.
Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia
Damon Owens is a gifted teacher and witness to the joy of being a disciple of Christ. God has clearly raised Damon to be an apostle of joy for the new evangelization of families in this post-Christian world. Damon is a joy, and I am proud to recommend him.

Damon & Melanie Owens
Married 33 years. Damon and Melanie founded Joyful Ever After to help couples get the marriage they want from the marriage they have.
Since 1993 they've trained over 20,000 couples in marriage, natural family planning, and the Theology of the Body. Damon served as the first executive director of the Theology of the Body Institute and chaired the 2016 International Theology of the Body Congress, while Melanie, a full-time homeschooling mother of eight, holds a BA in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara and an MSW from UC Berkeley.
The couple has also presented at the World Meeting of Families and the USCCB Convocation of Catholic Leaders, bringing their message on marriage and family life to bishops, clergy, and Catholic leaders nationwide. In 2018, Pope Francis honored Damon with the Papal Benemerenti Medal for his service to the Church.Â
