Overview
Help AMI make your support go further. We’re raising $800 to bring our courses, coaching, and resources together on one platform—with the potential to save up to $800 a month and simplify access for couples. Give by October 31 to help us make the move.
Every dollar you entrust to the Apostolate for Marital Intimacy matters. Your generosity supports our work to educate, form, strengthen, and guide couples—and we want to make those resources go as far as possible.
We’ve found an opportunity that could reduce our expenses while making our courses and coaching easier for couples to access.
We’re raising $800 for a one-time platform transition that could save AMI up to $800 every month.
Bringing Our Courses and Coaching Together
We’ve been testing AttractWell, a platform that could bring several parts of our ministry together in one place. It has the potential to replace the separate systems we’ve been using for courses, membership access, and coaching.
Today, a couple participating in both coaching and coursework may need separate logins on different platforms. Bringing these services together would make it easier for coaching clients to access courses and resources—and for course participants to connect with coaching when they need more personal guidance.
Our testing so far has been encouraging. We’re still learning the platform’s ins and outs, but we believe it could serve our couples well and support AMI as our ministry grows.
Our Website, Blog, and Patreon Will Continue
We’re keeping our Squarespace website and will continue publishing here on the blog, which has become one of AMI’s most valuable resources. We’ll also continue publishing on Patreon, and donations will remain through Donorbox.
This transition focuses on the systems supporting our courses, coaching, and direct client services.
Why We’re Asking for Help Now
Moving our growing collection of courses, contacts, and other data—and getting the new platform ready to serve our community—will cost approximately $800.
Some of you may remember that our former coaching platform shut down last year. That unexpected closure required a costly transition and reinforced how much these technology decisions affect both our ministry and the couples we serve.
The final savings from this move will depend on which subscriptions we can retire and which features we need. Even replacing some of our existing services could reduce our expenses, with the potential to save up to $800 a month once the transition is complete.
Our goal is to raise $800 by October 31, so we can move promptly and, where possible, cancel existing subscriptions before another round of charges in November.
Help Us Make the Move
Would you consider a one-time gift of $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can give?
With more than 900 newsletter subscribers in our community, many small gifts could help us reach this goal quickly. Every contribution brings us closer to lower ongoing costs and a simpler experience for the couples we serve.

As a personal thank-you, I’ll send a copy of Love and Responsibility by Karol Wojtyła, later Pope Saint John Paul II, to the first eight donors who give $100 or more. I have eight copies on my shelf that I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to share.
If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this appeal and keeping this transition in your prayers.
Thank you for helping us care for the resources entrusted to AMI. Your generosity makes this ministry possible, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to put it to work strengthening marriages.
In Christ,
