God has used U of F to help us come together in prayer, and has helped us to get support and guidance not just from one another but from the Lord Himself. It has given us a good start on not just bonding emotionally and physically but also spiritually which is helping us to keep our marriage in line with God's purpose for us, and that is to be happily married for life.    -Sally C.

My husband and I had no idea what a healthy marriage was like. Our first years were torture.  After attending a Married for Life group, restoration began take place.  Truth regarding what God intends for marriage built us up and strengthened us.  Trust was restored and we chose to forgive. We have began to read the Bible together and come into agreement for our descisions.  It is our intent to think the best of ourselves, each other, our children, and others!    -Bonnie L.   

For nearly a year and a half my marriage counseling load has dropped off to nothing. Sometimes I would have as many as 4 to 6 counseling appointments a week.  The majority of the couples who have gone through MMI, have become productive in ministry.  Some of our strongest couples in the church are MMI graduates. I can personally testify of how awesome the ministry has been for my family and me. -Pastor Brandon B.

Through this program, I found the love for my husband again and I can't even imagine a day without him let alone a lifetime.  God is so good. I would recomend going through this program for everyone.  Not just those that are in dire need of it, but even those who think they are just fine. Talk about having an enriched life and marriage!  -Jennifer R.

This course has made us realize how important a marriage covenant truly is. I praise God for the husband He has given me and how I should be as a wife. This has completely changed our lives forever and I have Christ, my husband, U of F, and our leaders to thank for it. We have learned to forgive (and mean it), take our roles as husband and wife, and not just be partners, but best friends. Thank you again and God bless. -Michelle D.

I'd like to introduce myself as one of those families who have gone through the U of F [Married for Life] teachings in Kenya. First I thought that my marriage was very ok, but after going through this teaching I discovered it was in a mess and I really cried to God to help me swallow my pride and follow his blue print type of marriage as God intended for my family.   - James M.i

My husband and I were separated for one year and 8 months, to the day.  When he left I was two months pregnant and I thought that divorce was my only option, until I called my mother in law later that day and she told me that she would get a hold of God for me.  She called back a couple of hours later and said that the Lord told her to tell me that divorce was not for me and that there was hope. He told her to stand for her son and she said God, I can't do it alone, and He said Carrie will stand with you. I didn't want to divorce my husband and so I began to believe God for restoration, the same day he left with the other women. The Lord began to give me scriptures to pray over us and our marriage.  The first one He gave me was Jer. 32:39-40. He lead me to pray over a picture of us, so everyday I would pray that scripture over us and the Lord began to give me more scriptures to add to that. About 5 months later a lady at that church I attend came up to me and gave me the book First Aid for a Wounded Marriage.  I sat in church and began to read Michael Phillips letter to the readers, I began to weep uncontrollably. I had no idea that other people, besides my mother and father in law had been through anything like what I was facing. My husband and I, praise be to God, the ONLY ONE who could do such a miracle, we have reconciled and are being healed and set free more everyday.  It was so funny because as I prayed for Michael, my husband, the Lord beg an to change me and turn my life around. Now Michael is growing at unbelievable rates in the Lord.  He goes deeper everyday and I just can't thank God enough that my husband is no longer on his way to hell, but he is looking to God the Father and I know that I know he is going to Heaven. 

Praise God for KNOWING that He could...
Michael and Carrie K.
