MarriedPeople Couples

Who is that couple you never dreamed would get a divorce, who got a divorce?  I would dare say, all of us have a couple who fits that description. Why is that the case? Why do we not hear from these couples until it is too late? The constant thing I hear over and over, is that people don’t mention it because they feel like they are the only ones—that everyone else’s marriage is perfect. All of us who are passionate about marriages that are great for a lifetime,  we have to unearth two hidden facts when it comes to marriage:

1) Struggles in your marriage are normal.

2) Hope in your marriage is available.

Struggles in your marriage are normal. We have to say this over and over and over. We have to give examples of this over and over.

Hope in your marriage is available. We have to say this over and over. We have to give examples of this over and over.

Because I work full time with church leaders,  I have to say, for us to be able to communicate over and over that struggles in your marriage are normal and hope in your marriage is available, we have to have a marriage strategy that gives us different avenues to get this message into the hearts of married people. We need to leverage our influence in large groups, small groups, and with individual couples.
