On this episode of Intentional Marriage, co-hosts and married couple – Justin and Cresta Burt – discuss how they met and how their relationship began.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Justin got married at 19 and had his kids by the age of 24, he was a missionary in another country but returned to the US to work in law enforcement. He met a dispatcher called Cresta and they formed a friendship where the messaged each other. After he got out of law enforcement his marriage began to break down, he tried to save his marriage for his children’s sake, but his wife asked him to leave. He decided to get himself fixed emotionally and physically and through an ad on Tik Tok he found a life coach who specialised in men dealing with themselves after a divorce and how to pick themselves up and it turned his life around.
- Cresta had had some relationships, none overly serious and a handful of them unhealthy. She had her dogs and family to get her through lots of things. She worked dispatching for many agencies including three different police agencies, the sheriff’s department, fire, EMS, etc. She met Justin and they became acquaintances who spoke during quiet times in their shifts when they saw each other.
- One Friday night, after a year of not seeing each other, they were both on nights out and ran into each other in a bar and something clicked between them. He asked if she wanted to go to dinner some time and she said yes and she’s said yes to him every day since.
- The Intentional Marriage is something we’ve put together to share what we have with other couples, to be there for them, be a sounding board for them, sharing the things that we’ve learned.

‘I was somewhat successful with being single, until my mid-40s.’
‘The maturing I did through life coaching really made me see things differently and to be there for you (Cresta) as our relationship progressed, providing a safe place and stability.’
