Focused Marriages
By Rodney Wayne Branche
Copa Style Magazine Publisher/CEO
Copa: Where did you both meet?
Jason & Angel: We were a blind date set up by Angel's best friend from high school.
Copa: At what time did you feel it was necessary to establish Focused Marriages?
Jason & Angel: In 2015, when we realized that there were many couples who had a need for marriage advice outside of churches. The reason we say church is because we are already providing advice through our church, and noticed that there were still more couples that we could reach outside of our church.

Copa: What are the 3 main issues that shake up marriages?
Jason & Angel:
Communication/Conflict resolution
Not understanding the purpose of marriage or having God at the center of their relationship
Not understanding each other’s needs

Copa: Do you believe that most couples approach marriage with unrealistic expectations?
Jason & Angel: Absolutely! Too many couples go into marriage unadvised and do not invest in obtaining the
necessary tools and resources to sustain a successful marriage after the wedding day.

Copa: How are your coaching sessions constructed?
Jason & Angel:
Practical application with biblical principles
A series of one-hour sessions via Zoom video or face-to-face (with a no judgement zone)
Assessment packages are distributed to couples prior to first session, confidentiality is a top
priority
All sessions are conducted with both Jason and Angel
We have curricula for seriously dating, engaged and married couples
Each session is communicated through scripture, notes, and life experiences

Copa: How do the couple's families play into the problem?
Jason & Angel: When couples allow outside family to be more of a priority in their own relationship. Couples
need to have an understanding of what it means to "leave and cleave."

Copa: Can couples be too close?
Jason & Angel: Couples should always strive to walk in unity and oneness and realizing that their lives are not their own.
Part of the purpose of marriage is being able to be fruitful and multiplying. Not just having more children
but reproducing your marriage in the lives of other couples in a positive way.
