Business on the Legacy Ladder
Steps to Financial Freedom in Business and Beyond
By Candy Christophe

This isn’t just another business book. This is your Legacy Blueprint.

Business on the Legacy Ladder is a faith-fueled, soul-awakening guide for entrepreneurs, married business partners, and ministry-minded leaders who are building businesses—but don’t want to lose themselves, their marriage, or their mission along the way.

In this bold and transparent roadmap, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, multi-business owner, and legacy strategist Candy Christophe invites you into the real behind-the-scenes of building wealth and sustaining love while walking in your divine calling. From the edge of divorce—just 72 hours from signing the papers—to building a million-dollar business portfolio with her husband, Candy has lived what she teaches. And now, she’s sharing the blueprint.

Through powerful lessons, scripture-rooted insights, and raw personal truth, Candy introduces the Legacy Ladder™—a step-by-step guide to climb with clarity, connection, and covenant. You’ll uncover how to:

Create and commit to a God-sized vision

Identify the distractions that delay your destiny

Reframe fear and stop settling for success without peace

Prioritize your well-being without guilt

Align your marriage and business so neither has to break

Shift from survival to strategy—and from burnout to breakthrough

Each chapter ends with a Legacy Ladder Step, Legacy Nugget, and Action Prompt, guiding you toward transformation you can feel and results you can measure. Whether you’re just launching your business or scaling your next level, this book gives you the tools—and the truth—to rise with integrity.

You’ll stop climbing without direction and start building something that outlasts you.

Because real success doesn’t leave love, purpose, or legacy behind.

Business on the Legacy Ladder™ Workbook is the hands-on companion to the bestselling book by therapist, entrepreneur, and legacy strategist Candy Christophe. This isn’t just a place to reflect. It’s where your legacy starts taking shape.

Designed for couples who work, lead, or build together, this workbook tackles the real struggles no one talks about:

Leading in the marketplace while drifting apart in marriage

Carrying vision but not sharing the weight

Success that looks good online but feels lonely at home

Cycles of conflict around money, purpose, and power

Starting a business with love—but losing one along the way

Track your progress toward the legacy you're building together

This is your workbook. Your reset. Your next level.

You don’t have to choose between business success and a strong marriage.
You can have both.
And this is where the climb begins.

In Marriage: Make It Last — Workbook, bestselling author, licensed clinical therapist, and Power Couple Coach™ Candy Christophe invites couples to step beyond inspiration into true transformation.

This beautifully guided workbook is the hands-on companion to her breakthrough book Marriage: Make It Last — How to Fight Fair, Grow Together, and Protect What Matters Most. It’s designed for high-achieving, purpose-driven couples — those who build businesses, lead ministries, and serve communities side-by-side — but who may be quietly struggling to protect the love behind all they’ve built.

Candy and her husband know that story personally. After coming 72 hours away from signing their divorce papers, they discovered that rebuilding wasn’t about perfection — it was about purpose. Now, through faith-fueled wisdom and decades of clinical expertise, Candy helps other couples turn conflict into connection and leadership into legacy.

Inside this Workbook

Every page of Marriage: Make It Last — Workbook is a step toward healing, understanding, and renewed intimacy.
You’ll find a proven structure that helps couples slow down, reconnect, and intentionally grow stronger together through reflective exercises, guided questions, and action-based commitments.

Each chapter includes:

Partner A and Partner B Pages — providing space for both individuals to process thoughts privately before reuniting for shared discussion.

Legacy Lens Reflections — deep, guided prompts to explore patterns, pain points, and possibilities for growth.

Power Couple Challenges™ — practical, faith-centered actions that help you apply insights in daily life.

Legacy Score Trackers — measurable progress tools that help couples see growth and celebrate wins instead of focusing on flaws.

Covenant Pact Section — a sacred close to the journey where couples write, sign, and seal a renewed commitment to love and legacy.

From learning to fight fair and listen for understanding to balancing workloads, finances, and faith, this workbook gives couples a roadmap to rediscover joy, rekindle trust, and rebuild unity one intentional moment at a time.

A Note from Candy Christophe

“This workbook was born out of our own near-divorce story — seventy-two hours from signing property settlement papers. I asked God, ‘Why?’ and He answered with one word: Purpose. That purpose became our turning point.

My prayer is that this workbook helps you and your spouse rediscover your rhythm, heal from the hard places, and fall in love again with what you started together. You really can have both — love that lasts and a legacy that leads.”

As a woman of faith, she anchors every principle in Scripture and prayer—reminding readers that covenant love was never meant to fail, only to be refined.

A Message from Candy

“Andre and I had the house, the success, the family, the ministry—but we were quietly falling apart.
When everything we built started to crumble, I asked God, ‘Why?’ and He answered with one word: Purpose.

This book is our story of how we turned pain into purpose—and how you can too. My prayer is that it helps you rebuild your marriage with grace, truth, and unshakable love. You really can have both: love that lasts and a legacy that leads.”

Ministry will grow you, stretch you, bless you… and if you’re not careful, it can break you.
Too many pastors, ministry leaders, and faith-driven couples silently suffer under the weight of serving others, while their own marriage quietly erodes behind the scenes. After 35 years of marriage, 35 years of service, and 72 hours away from signing divorce settlement papers, Candy Christophe learned something life-altering:

God never intended for your ministry to cost you your marriage.

In Ministry — Spiritually Strategic, Candy invites ministry couples into a transparent, healing-centered, and spiritually strategic journey—one that merges biblical truth, clinical insight, and lived experience to restore what many couples have lost: unity, peace, passion, intimacy, emotional safety, and a clear blueprint for doing life, love, and leadership without losing either one.

With the compassionate voice of a therapist and the lived authority of a woman who rebuilt her own marriage from the edge of collapse, Candy guides you through the internal battles, spiritual warfare, unspoken expectations, and emotional wounds that ministry couples face but rarely verbalize.

Inside this book, you will uncover:

• The hidden costs of ministry leadership that no one prepares you for

Learn how emotional fatigue, congregational demands, spiritual pressure, and chronic over-service create silent fractures in even the strongest marriages.

• The five challenges married ministry couples face—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally

These challenges go beyond communication struggles and get to the root: identity shifts, spiritual imbalance, misalignment of calling, role confusion, and the trauma of always being “on.”

• The cycles that keep ministry couples stuck

Understand the patterns—withdrawal and chase, conflict avoidance, spiritual bypassing, emotional depletion—and how to stop letting yesterday’s wounds dictate tomorrow’s connection.

• How to protect your marriage while protecting your ministry

Candy gives you clear, actionable tools to strengthen spiritual unity, realign your marriage covenant, re-establish respect and intimacy, and create rhythms that support longevity.

• What to do when your calling becomes heavier than your heart can carry

Learn how to serve without losing yourself, honor your spouse without neglecting your assignment, and build ministry in a way that expands your legacy instead of draining it.

• The truth about purpose, pain, and partnership

Candy’s signature testimony—being “72 hours away from divorce”—reveals what happens when two people drift so far apart they can no longer hear God or each other. But it also reveals the miracle that awaits when God steps into the middle.

Throughout the book, you’ll find Legacy Nuggets, reflective questions, real-life stories, clinical insights, and spiritually strategic principles that walk you through healing, reconnection, alignment, and restoration. Candy brings her full self—licensed clinician, ordained servant leader, power-couple coach, and survivor of near-divorce—to offer ministry couples the one thing every leader needs but rarely receives:

A safe place to be real.

Whether your marriage is strong, strained, or silently suffocating under the demands of ministry, this book is your invitation to breathe again. To reconnect. To rebuild with intention. To rediscover the joy and covenant God designed for you. And to finally understand:

You can serve God faithfully without sacrificing the love He blessed you with.
You can lead with power and still protect your peace.
You can have both—ministry and marriage—and build a legacy worth inheriting.

If you are a pastor, ministry couple, spiritual leader, or faith-driven power couple determined to build a lasting legacy, Ministry — Spiritually Strategic will become your breakthrough guide, your reset, and your roadmap back to each other.

Ministry: Spiritually Strategic™ — Workbook
Blueprint to Equip Ministry Couples to Build Marriage and Ministry Without Losing Either**

Every ministry couple knows the truth few are brave enough to speak out loud: serving God is sacred… but it can also be silently exhausting. Behind the sermons, counseling sessions, church events, and constant needs of others, many pastors and their spouses are left feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and spiritually drained. And when the marriage suffers, the ministry suffers too.

This workbook is your place to breathe again.

Designed as the hands-on companion to Ministry: Spiritually Strategic™, this workbook guides ministry couples through a powerful process of reflection, healing, alignment, and practical reconstruction. With trauma-informed prompts, transparent journaling exercises, Partner A / Partner B reflection pages, and a shared Legacy Alignment section for every chapter, this workbook helps couples not only read the material—but live it.

Inside, you’ll walk through:
• The hidden costs of serving others while silently struggling
• The cycles of stress, conflict, and burnout that ministry often creates
• Biblical and clinical insights to realign as a team instead of operating as “ministry coworkers”
• Heart-level questions that help you understand the weight your spouse carries
• Intimacy-building activities that restore communication, trust, and emotional safety
• Practical frameworks to protect your home while fulfilling your calling
• A Ministry Covenant to help you recommit to unity, rest, purpose, and partnership

Created by Candy Christophe, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Addiction Counselor, wife of 35 years, ministry leader, and million-dollar business owner, this workbook blends clinical expertise with lived experience. Candy understands what it means to lead, to carry the spiritual weight of others, and to fight for a marriage while still serving faithfully. Her voice is compassionate, honest, and deeply restorative—meeting you right where you are.

This is more than a workbook.
It is a reset, a roadmap, and a recommitment to the marriage God entrusted to you first.

Whether you are exhausted, hopeful, overwhelmed, or simply ready to strengthen what God has built, Ministry: Spiritually Strategic™ — The Workbook gives you the tools, space, and guidance to rebuild connection, restore unity, and return to ministry with a renewed heart… together.

Your calling matters.
Your covenant matters more.

You don’t have to choose between love and leadership.
You can have both—stronger than ever.

Legacy Redeemed – The Adultery Trap is the most vulnerable, unfiltered, and transformative book in the You Can Have Both™ Legacy Blueprint Series. In these pages, Candy Christophe pulls back the curtain on one of the darkest seasons of her marriage—the season when betrayal shattered everything she thought was unbreakable… and when divorce seemed inevitable.

Seventy-two hours away from signing the property settlement, with her heart splintered and her future in ruins, Candy heard one word from God that changed the entire course of her life: Purpose. That moment became the beginning of a redemption story she never saw coming.

This book is not a neatly polished “we struggled, then we prayed, and now we’re fine” testimony. It is a raw, honest journey through the emotional earthquake of infidelity—shock, numbness, rage, grief, humiliation, spiritual confusion, intrusive thoughts, broken trust, and the slow, uneven climb toward healing.

More than a story, this is a manual for women standing in the ashes, trying to decide if their marriage can be salvaged… and whether they can survive what was done to them.

Candy weaves together her lived experience as a wife, a licensed clinical therapist, a woman of faith, and a survivor of deep emotional and spiritual pain. With remarkable transparency, she shares the moments that nearly broke her, the moments that rebuilt her, and the spiritual truth that finally set her free.

Inside these pages, readers will discover:
• What betrayal does to the mind, body, and spirit
• How to navigate triggers, intrusive thoughts, and emotional spirals
• The difference between reconciliation, repair, and unrealistic expectation
• Why forgiveness is a process—not a command to forget
• How faith can anchor you when trauma shakes your identity
• The unexpected clarity that comes when you stop fighting for the marriage and start fighting for yourself

Legacy Redeemed – The Adultery Trap is more than a book. It is an invitation—into healing, into truth, and into a future you may not believe is possible yet. Whether your marriage recovers or ends, you will come out stronger, clearer, and more connected to God’s purpose for your life.

For every woman who has whispered, “How do I survive this?”
For every couple trying to rebuild what was broken…
For every person who believed the pain would destroy them…

This book is proof that redemption is real, healing is possible, and your legacy does not end where the betrayal began.

You can have both—love and freedom, healing and hope, purpose and peace—when you refuse to let betrayal be the end of your story.

The Adultery Trap: Legacy Redeemed™ Workbook**

When betrayal shatters a marriage, the heart doesn’t just break — it questions everything: identity, worth, safety, and the very future of the covenant. The Adultery Trap: Legacy Redeemed™ Workbook was created for that moment.
