Hi friend and welcome!
I’m Ngina (pronounced GAY-nuh) and I am a Certified Marriage Breakthrough Coach™, Author and Blogger.
I believe your marriage is meant to thrive and on this site, I help wives navigate the early years of marriages so their marriage can thrive.
I started this site in 2011, initially blogging about personal growth and relationships. Later, I narrowed my focus and now write about marriage in the early years.
What was once a part time commitment has turned into a fully-fledged ministry that helps hundreds of thousands around the world. I am thrilled you are here.
My husband and I are originally from Kenya but now live in the United States. You can read more of my story by visiting my bio page here.
Why Intentional Today?
Intentional Today is our marriage ministry dedicated to helping wives thrive in marriage through articles, books, coaching and speaking
I started Intentional Today because I was once the new bride in love and in turmoil. I didn’t know those two words go together and I was devastated.
But God showed me how we can create a great marriage through intentionality of thought and habit. Now my passion is to help wives navigate the early years of marriage so they can thrive.
Hebrews 3:12-13 sums up the mission of this site
“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
