CHAT GUIDELINES
PLEASE BE KIND AND POSITIVE TO ALL MEMBERS
- WE MAINTAIN A NARROW FOCUS ON JOYPATH’S SACRED GENTLE PROTECTOR SKILLS
We explore relationships through the lens of these relational intimacy skills, including Laura Doyle’s Intimacy skills-based approach and the Life Model’s Relational skills. - HOPE FOR DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIPS
If you’re working to become a gentle protector in a challenging relationship, JoyPath invites you to practice these skills. A “gentle protector” uses strength to create and restore joy-filled relationships. Gentle protectors act like themselves even under pressure, stay relational during conflicts, return to joy after difficulties, and protect what matters most: connection and relational joy. There is reason to hope! - THIS GROUP IS DESIGNED FOR THOSE COMMITTED TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP
This space is designed for wives seeking freedom, peace, and connection in their marriages. If you’re in the process of ending your relationship, this may not be the right fit for your current journey. - THIS GROUP IS FOR CHRISTIAN WIVES
We honor women from various Christian faith traditions while adhering to Biblical truths. - NO DIRECT 1:1 COACHING IN THIS CHAT
You won’t receive specific private coaching on your relationship in this connect space, and we ask that you refrain from coaching others. However, you’re always welcome to share your own powerful stories, your wins and breakthroughs, what you are uncovering for yourself, how you relate, are inspired, and acknowledge one another! For 1:1 coaching where you are looking for a breakthrough, you are invited to receive in our group lives sessions or to schedule private coaching. - NO COMPLAINING, VENTING, OR RANTING
Posts about how “he did you wrong” don’t benefit you or the group. This also applies to profanity, male-bashing, and group-bashing. - CONFIDENTIALITY MATTERS
Please keep what’s shared here within the group only. - FREE RESOURCES AVAILABLE
