We can change the narrative.
Right now in Virginia, close to 50% of marriages end in divorce and 35% of children born go to a home without a father. Generational impact happens when we invest in marriages. How we talk about marriage matters. Through trainings, events, conferences, church ministries, and in our own lives, we can change the way our culture views marriage.
Marriage is a headwater. The health of families, churches, and communities flow down from it.
If you are looking for a way to change the narrative whether drastically or slightly, then we can help you find the resources you need to get a strong start, stay strong, and enjoy the journey of a lasting Godly marriage.
For churches, we we will come alongside you and help you develop a proactive and sustainable ministry to marriages through discussions and marriage ministry workshops. For couples, we will have conversations that guide you to be trained to lead marriage or relationship small groups; be trained as a marriage mentor or coach; or to help begin a marriage ministry at your church. And for the community, we want you to JOIN THE MOVEMENT to influence marriages in Virginia.
