Mission
Our mission at Beyond the Vows is to help couples build a healthy, thriving marriage based on biblical principles. Through practical marriage coaching, we equip couples with the tools and guidance they need to grow closer to God, strengthen their relationship, communicate better, and love each other well.
About Us
Hello friend, David and Sheila Kelsey here! When asked why Kingdom marriage coaching, the answer is simple - we've experienced marriage the world's way, which led to despair, destruction, and divorce.
As we've grown in our marriage, we've learned how to do marriage God's way, and it has led to unity in Christ, each other, and the kind of marriage always hoped for.
Our desire is to help couples grow closer to God and to each other, strengthen their marriages, and thrive together - no matter what season of marriage they are in.

Testimonials
Don't Take Our Word For It
"We thank God for bringing David and Sheila into our lives. Their faith, wisdom, and love for God’s design for marriage have impacted us deeply. At a time when our marriage was struggling, they poured into us—helping us grow as individuals and as a couple. Through their guidance, we’ve faced parenting, intimacy, and communication challenges with renewed strength and faith. Our marriage is stronger today because of God working through them. Thank you, David and Sheila, for your love, support, and obedience to God’s calling!"
Barrhet & Amber Smith
"Thank God for David and Sheila. They are a true blessing, as they embody the essence of a Godly marriage. Their union is a shining example of what it means to have God at the center. They have been instrumental in our lives, providing guidance and support during times of need and transition. David and Sheila's dedication to our marriage has been a catalyst for growth, helping us become better partners and parents. They have reminded us that, together, we can overcome any challenge. We are forever grateful for their presence in our lives, as they have shown us what it means to build a marriage on a foundation of love, trust, and faith. We love you guys!"
Usiel & Maria Valdez
"We’re truly thankful for David and Sheila and the impact they’ve had on our marriage. When we first joined the class, we weren’t even married yet, but they welcomed us, walked alongside us, and gave us the kind of guidance we didn’t even know we needed. Their example has helped us build a strong foundation, not just in how we love each other, but in how we keep God at the center, even when life gets messy. They’ve reminded us that it’s okay to face struggles, and that growth comes through being intentional, forgiving, and choosing us daily. We’ve learned so much from their knowledge, wisdom and faith, and we’re just really grateful to have had them walk this journey with us."
Christopher & Carolina Ayala
"When we first began our journey with marriage ministry through the church, we started in premarital counseling, got married, and then returned to finish those sessions with the same ministers. That experience was a blessing for us as newlyweds.
That’s where David and Sheila came in. From the very beginning, their ministry spoke directly into our situation. The wisdom, compassion, and practical advice they offered touched us on a much deeper level, even though we have known them for only a short time. Through their guidance, we’ve grown in grace and understanding—not only toward one another but also in how we approach the struggles within our family dynamic.
Today, we stand more united as a couple and stronger in our walk with Christ, both together and as individuals. We are incredibly grateful for the impact David and Sheila’s ministry has had on us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple. Their ministry is a gift to all marriages, but especially to blended families walking through the challenges of tricky family dynamics."

What If You Spent The Next 90 Days Focusing On What's Right In Your Marriage?
It’s easy to spot what needs to change. But what happens when you intentionally look for what’s good, what’s growing, and what you can personally do to make your marriage stronger?
The Marriage Journal was created to help you do exactly that.
Over 3 months, you and your spouse will be guided to slow down, reflect, pray, and intentionally invest in your marriage through Scripture, thoughtful prompts, and practical reflection.
The goal isn't to become a perfect spouse.
It’s to become a more intentional one.
And because marriage is a team, we recommend one journal for you and one for your spouse—so you can each do the work individually and discover what happens when you bring it together.
90 days. Two journals. One marriage worth investing in.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from counseling & therapy?
Counseling & therapy usually address past hurts, wounds and unresolved emotional triggers from a clinical perspective. That requires a licensed professional to diagnose and treat. Our approach is focused on individual growth from this point forward, by learning biblical principles that will teach you how to respond from a biblical perspective. The healing that one might receive would be from a spiritual perspective, from the inside out. This would be referred to as breaking strongholds.
What is a Kingdom marriage coach?
Similar to a business coach, a marriage coach helps the couple clarify the vision for their marriage, establish a mindset based on biblical principles, set and achieve goals, and teaches them how to apply the principles in their marriage.
How do I know if this approach is best for our situation?
We encourage each couple to pray and come into agreement prior to committing to coaching. A few things to consider are, "Do I/we need help understanding what God says about marriage?", "Could we benefit from learning how to best honor, serve, love and respect one another?", and "Our marriage is good right now, but we'd love to go from good to best."
What if my spouse isn't ready to commit to this?
While it is ideal for both spouses, there are times when only one spouse can commit. We have seen growth in couples where only one spouse is actively participating in learning and growing. This is due to the "draw the circle around yourself first" approach. It may take a little extra time, but growth is still possible even if only one spouse is in attendance.
Is this a faith-based coaching community?
Beyond the Vows is a no apologies, faith-based coaching community. The foundation of what we do is all biblically
based, with an intentional focus on helping couples learn what it looks like to live a God centered marriage. You can expect to hear scripture mentioned often in our sessions.
What kind of results can we expect from this coaching?
It sounds cliche to say, "results may vary", but it very much is the case when it comes to this. The results of each couple are dependent on their individual situation. For some, this will be what brings their marriage back from the brink of divorce, for others it may be a way to boost their already good marriage. And in some cases, this could be the perfect fit for a newly married couple, or a couple that is new in their faith walk. Investing the time, effort and education in yourself and your marriage has the potential to change generations starting with you.
How much does this cost?
To join our private, online community, it's a monthly subscription of only $19/per account. There are no contracts to sign, so you can remain an active client as long as you like.
Can we cancel if we decide it's no longer a good fit?
We understand that our coaching may be a fit only for a season, that is why we have made it very simple for memberships to be canceled at any time. We require a 30-day notice of cancellation. All subscriptions are non-refundable.
