Jim and Shannon are amazing! We were confused, scared and hopeless…. We were blown away and left with faith and a plan to change our future!Mike G
I was terrified to go. We have been “the” couple everyone was jealous of. But little did they all know, we were on the edge of divorce. The Hit Pause Weekend changed everything! Celebrating 20 years this year!Cheryl M
When I found the Relationship Help Center after reading Shannon and Jimmy’s book, Hope Is Where The Heart Is. All I can say is go. Have hope? Go! No Hope? Go! These guys are dealers in Hope.Lacey P
When I saw the “text”, my life crashed around me. He was in an affair… What was I supposed to do? What about the kids? I signed up for Coaching and they kept my Hope high and helped me reduce the fear until we attended the Weekend. This works!Judah S
This was my 3rd marriage, and it had become a living HELL! When I finally convinced my wife to attend the Hit Pause weekend, she was already one foot out the door. I learned that I had changed partners, but I had not changed my destructive habits of interaction! Doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity. Stoop the insanity…Sara H
Literally the safest place I have ever been!Tonya B
I had no hope going into the Weekend. In fact, my husband didn’t even sit by me until the weekend began. Saturday was half over and in the break he says to me, “All this time I thought it was you… but I can see my “S..t. I’m sorry…Carter J
My mom and dad gave us the weekend as a pre-marriage gift. WOW! I can still hear Jim say… All these couples felt the exact same way you feel right now. It takes more than Hope and prayer! You guys are getting the best pre-marriage “counseling” there is!Shellie Y
Our pastor sent us! We came back with a new marriage!Beth P
One of the most rewarding parts of the Weekend was meeting the other couples in attendance. By Saturday morning, we were all rooting for one another!
Learning and understanding me and my partner’s behavioral style was a game changer! There was no talk of Divorce, but we were not healthy believing the other was just trying to aggravate. The clarity is transforming.
