Marriage is a treasured asset. We strengthen marriages and prevent breakdowns through regular faith-centered check-ups and coaching.

The Problem

"Issues like finances, roles, or interests come up again and again with no real resolution."
"The spark has faded into a roommate or rivalry situation."
"You find yourselves drifting away — more differences than commonalities."
The Solution
A Continuous Cycle of Assessment, Coaching, and Implementation

From our premarital counselling sessions to the continued counselling and encouragement over the years, Dr Joy and Lady Esenam have played a significant role in strengthening our relationship and helping us build a healthy, loving, and lasting marriage.
What stood out most about Dr Joy and Lady Esenam were the genuine care and dedication shown toward our relationship. Every session was conducted with professionalism, patience, compassion, and deep root in the word of God. Dr Joy and Lady Esenam created a safe and welcoming environment where both of us felt heard, respected, and supported. Even after our wedding, Dr Joy and Lady Esenam continued to check in on us and provide ongoing counselling and encouragement whenever needed.

Creators

Marriage Oil Change™ was founded by Dr. Joy Kwakuyi, a pastor and board-certified Nurse Practitioner, and Lady Esenam Kwakuyi, a Christian counselor and practice manager, who have known each other for over 30 years and been married for more than two decades. Together, they bring a faith-integrated, clinically informed approach to their work with couples, drawing on over 20 years of experience through church-based ministry and their practice, Faith Integrated Psychiatry. Based in Tucson, Arizona, the couple created Marriage Oil Change™ out of a deep conviction that marriage is a living covenant (“one flesh”) requiring intentional, proactive care — offering couples a structured system to strengthen their relationships before problems arise.

Marriage is a journey and married couples are a work-in-progress. That's why our programs are processes of continuous improvement, not a one-time service. You will have ongoing support through our Resource Library, Community Interactions, and Email Support so you don’t feel alone on your marriage journey.
All plans include a 6-month minimum commitment — and here's why that matters: Lasting change in a marriage doesn't happen overnight. True behavioral and relational change often require sustained personal effort, professional help, and spiritual transformation. The first 6 months are where the work begins: Your assessment, your coaching session, your customized improvement plan, and putting it all into practice. We want you to experience the full cycle before making a judgment. After your initial 6-month period, you may cancel at any time with no penalty. But why would you cancel when you know that marriage is a lifetime journey of sustained effort and guidance?
We understand — and you're not alone. It's common for one spouse to be more ready than the other. We encourage you to have a passionate conversation with your spouse by sharing what Marriage Oil Change™ is about: Not reactive counseling in response to a crisis, but regular maintenance to secure and grow your marriage, which is your treasured asset. Explain that this isn't about "fixing" them — it's about investing in something you both value. If your spouse remains reluctant, consider getting started for a period of time and share the benefits with your spouse.
No. Marriage Oil Change™ is a structured, preventative marriage health and enrichment program — think of it as proactive coaching and guidance to prevent breakdowns or crises, not reactive therapy. This program enriches your marriage by placing effective clinical and biblical tools, and an experienced Christian marriage coach at your disposal (depending on the plan you choose) for the long and often challenging journey of marriage.
Don't wait for a breakdown. Start your Marriage Oil Change™ today.
