Meet Kristi & Andy 💓

After nearly losing their marriage in 2009, God transformed their story into a passion for helping other couples thrive. Today, they’ve been married for 29 years and are dedicated to strengthening marriages and families through teaching, coaching, and relationship education.

Kristi serves as Communications Director at Live the Life, while Andy partners alongside her in ministry. Together, they lead programs like Hope Weekend, Navigating Us, and Start Smart, helping couples build stronger, healthier relationships.

One of the most impactful tools we use in our Start Smart premarital class is the Daily Check-In.

Many couples discover that meaningful conversations don’t always come naturally. Whether it’s awkward, uncomfortable, or simply unfamiliar, the Daily Check-In provides a simple framework to connect each day through appreciations, new information, apologies, and prayer requests.

It’s designed to create space for communication, understanding, and reconciliation—helping couples build healthy habits before marriage.
