Intimate connection

About Remember Eden

Remember Eden was born from a simple conviction: that the story of intimacy between two people is one of the most important stories there is, and it deserves to be told with honesty, beauty, and without shame.

We are Jonathan and Stacie. Married 25 years. Parents of six. Grandparents of two. We live on a 70-acre farm in Minnesota, and we have learned most of what we know about love the hard way. Through seasons of distance and reconnection. Through the quiet erosion that happens when life gets busy and you stop paying attention. Through the slow, deliberate work of finding your way back to each other.

Along the way, we deconstructed much of what we had been taught about desire and rebuilt it from the ground up. Not because the foundation was wrong, but because the framework we inherited was too small. Too fearful. Too quick to treat the body as a problem to be managed rather than a gift to be celebrated.

What We Believe

We believe the body is good. We believe desire, within covenant, is not something to be ashamed of but something to be cultivated. We believe that the best marriages are the ones where both people are still curious about each other, still willing to be vulnerable, still committed to the ongoing work of connection.

Remember Eden is not a Christian brand in the way you might expect. We don't lead with theology. But our convictions run deep, like a root system beneath a garden. They show up in how we talk, not what we quote. In the reverence we bring to the subject. In our refusal to be either prudish or reckless.


"We're not here to fix your marriage. We're here to remind you why it's worth fighting for."


What We Do

We write about the real landscape of long-term intimacy. The mismatched desires. The seasons of distance. The courage it takes to ask for help. The quiet beauty of a Tuesday night when you choose each other again.

We curate art that celebrates the human form with the reverence it deserves. Photography, painting, editorial work that treats beauty as something sacred rather than something to exploit.

And we build a community of couples who refuse to settle for a relationship that's merely functional. Who want more. Who believe that the garden can bloom again, no matter the season.
