Welcome! I am so glad you are here!
My name is Ngina and I am a christian, wife, author and the woman behind this ministry site.
I believe your marriage is meant to thrive and on this site, I provide practical, actionable resources to help the newlywed wife draw closer to God & her husband, one intentional choice at a time.
Not because I have a perfect marriage but because I know how it feels like to have an imperfect one and what it takes to create a great one.
I started this blog in 2011, initially blogging about personal growth and relationships. Later, I narrowed my focus and now write about marriage in the early years.
You can read more of my story by visiting my bio page here.
My husband and I are originally from Kenya but we now live in the United States. You can read about our relocation here and here.
Why Intentional Today?
Intentional Today is our online marriage ministry dedicated to helping the newlywed and early-wed wife thrive in her marriage through articles, books and mentoring.
It is based on Hebrews 3:12-13
“See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”

Preparing for marriage
I believe that “healthy singles make healthy marrieds”. Marriage is amazing but it does not “complete” a person. As a single person, you are complete in God and should approach life as a whole person. Here are articles to encourage your single journey and help you prepare for marriage – click here
