Restore Us: 7 Practices to Begin the Journey to Restoration

Restore Us is a practice-guided journey for couples who know something needs to change - but aren’t sure where to begin.

This is not a book about perfection. It’s a book about pause.

Pause long enough to listen again.

Pause long enough to tell the truth.

Pause long enough to invite God back into the center of your relationship.

Written by Pastor, Counselor, and Chaplain Kahlil Carmichael, Restore Us offers a gentle, faith-centered pathway for couples experiencing emotional distance, communication breakdown, unresolved hurt, or simply the weight of life pulling them apart. Through reflections, scripture, guided prompts, and prayer, couples are invited to begin the sacred work of restoration - together.

Following seven practices, readers will be encouraged to:

• Slow down and reconnect with intention.

• Identify patterns that quietly damage intimacy.

• Practice honesty without blame or shame.

• Choose love as a daily discipline, not just a feeling.

• Invite God into the healing and rebuilding process.

Restore Us does not promise instant fixes. What it offers is something more lasting - a starting point. A turning point. A renewed commitment to growth, grace, and restoration.

Whether you are rebuilding after conflict, feeling emotionally disconnected, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, this book reminds couples of a powerful truth:

Restoration is possible - and it begins with a willing heart.
