About “Un” Naked Marriage

This website is about healing from the loss of what God intended to be a “perfect” relationship (see James 1:17). Rich and Katie were blessed with something rare—a relationship that felt divinely orchestrated. For the first time in their lives, they prayed together daily, felt the presence of God in their union, and believed they were being prepared for a ministry together. It was the kind of connection that only God could author.

But even a divinely inspired relationship can’t thrive without both hearts fully committed to God and to one another. No matter how deeply one person tries to love, lead, or hold on, covenant marriage is a two-way promise. Without honesty, repentance, and mutual surrender to God, that purpose becomes impossible to fulfill.

This is a story of deep pain, betrayal, and unfulfilled purpose. But it’s also a story of survival, clarity, and ultimately, redemption. While the vision that once existed has been shattered, I believe God is still working behind the scenes. He is faithful, even when others are not. And He still brings beauty from ashes—even if the outcome looks nothing like what we expected.

As God continues to reveal His purpose for this next chapter, this site will grow into a place for others who find themselves in the same storm. For husbands who were lied to. For men who gave everything to protect and nurture a marriage that wasn’t equally valued. For believers left wondering how something that felt so holy could end so painfully.

If you’ve been there—or you’re there now—I want you to know you’re not alone. God sees you. He hears your prayers. And even though the story you planned has fallen apart, His story for you is far from over.

Check back soon. I’ll be sharing more as God gives me the words—and the courage—to write them.
