1+1=1 is a simple yet powerful expression of Genesis 2:24 – “the two shall become one.” We believe that in healthy relationships, losing is often the way to win – losing pride, ego, and the need to be right. At Yakima Marriage Coaching, we guide couples to live out this truth in their marriage, family, and community, building strong bonds rooted in humility, love, and faith.

MISSION

We are called to make a difference in our community by strengthening marriages and families – one couple, one person at a time. We believe God has a unique and powerful plan for your family, and we’re here to help you walk in it by making wise, faith-filled choices. There is no plan B –Your marriage matters.

MY STORY

1+1=1 was born in 2023 out of the pain of a personal divorce. At first, I placed all the blame on my spouse. But as I grew in faith, I came to see the real issue – my broken relationship with God.

That painful journey became the foundation of this ministry. I learned that when God is in the boat, no storm can drown me. Restoration is possible, but it takes humility, accountability, and a willingness to fight for unity.
