Judith Kaluzny Show Notes

A Divorce lawyer may be a strange guest for the Wedding Chaplain Podcast. However, my guest today has some valuable insights. She knows how the divorce "industry" works. And yes, it is a business. The legal system thrives when a couple goes through a lengthy divorce. Judith helps people avoid that. But she also wants people to know the legal ramifications of divorce. Divorce is not just a break-up; you need to understand the legal side of marriage. Do you, as an engaged couple, know what it means to get married according to the laws in your state?

Judith is a mother of seven children who practiced family law for 43 years. After 10 years of litigated divorces, she learned about mediation. She soon gave up going to court and started helping couples with family problems and guiding them mostly through the dissolution of marriage, which they call divorce in California. Just before the COVID pandemic hit, she devoted herself to writing.

Shields of Strength Show Notes

For as long as I have hosted the Wedding Chaplain podcast, we have not had an episode dedicated solely to love. As someone who works with couples and gets them ready for their wedding, I probably should have made this our first episode.

Today's guest is Kenny Vaughan. Kenny is the Founder of Shields of Strength, a Christian jewelry line that began in 1997 after a long battle with fear and anxiety. Kenny is the Author of The Right Fight, a book on how to live a loving life. So, it might be said that Kenny wrote the book on love. Kenny has been married to Tammie Vaughan for 28 years, and they have three children...Faith, Grace, and Kennedy. Kenny has spent the last twenty years studying the concept of love.

This Episode is a recording of a message delivered at First Baptist Church of Massillon on Sunday, May 4th, 2025.

Notes

No guest today. In addition to my work at WeddingChaplain.com, I am also a local church pastor. In May 2025, our church went through a series called "No Ordinary Family." For the first part of the series, I discussed my passion for wedding ministry and my book, Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You're at It.

I share some of my favorite stories from my wedding ministry over the past twenty-five years: the good, the bad, and the crazy. I also call for our church and others to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged. The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.

Today's guest is Kayla Satava. Kayla is a dance instructor at the family-owned Prestige Ballroom Dancing Studio in Northeast Ohio. While she teaches all kinds of dance classes and programs, today we are talking about engaged couples getting ready for their first dance.

When the DJ announces at your wedding, "The bride and groom will begin their lives together with their first dance," what will you do?

Kayla does not want you to leave one of the most important parts of your special day to chance. This will be the first time all of your loved ones see you together on the dance floor as husband and wife. Kayla talks about practicing and preparing for this big moment.

Kayla and her dad also teach a Marriage Enrichment Dance Program. A healthy and happy marriage requires trust, patience, and great communication skills, which are also needed to be a good social dancer. Many couples use dance lessons to reconnect with each other, and these classes are set up to do just that.

Today's episode is super simple but very important. I take a few minutes to talk about vows and personal statements. This is the main place in the ceremony where the couple speaks, so you need to put a lot of thought into it.

Today, our guest is Tim Young, who is one of our officiants at WeddingChaplain.com. In addition to being an excellent wedding minister, he is a financial coach at Financial Peace University. Money is one of the top stressors in marriage, but it does not have to be. Financial coaching helps couples get on the same page about money, set shared goals, and create a plan that leads to financial peace instead of financial tension. Tim is going to be talking about that today.

To learn more about Tim, please visit our website: The Wedding Chaplain Website

I was a guest on another podcast called People on Dating, hosted by Will Morales. Will started his podcast because of the stories he had heard and the experiences he had while dating. He says he is no expert. Instead, he talks with experts on relationships and everyday people. However, the main idea of his show is to discuss the ups and downs of courtship. Whether you are 18 or 80, you have a story.

The goal of our conversation was to talk about dating with a purpose. Does dating always have engagement as a goal? We also discuss the idea of dating as engaged and married couples. We will talk about the Date Challenge as well.

We are back! We took a brief hiatus and turned it into a year off. I took on a new ministry position and spent much of 2024 working on my second and third books, so the podcast took a backseat, unfortunately. However, we are excited to get things back on track. Today's episode is just a catch-up and reset, preparing us for new episodes every week.
