Hope & Help for Your Marriage
About
Does This Sound Like Your Marriage?
Maybe you're constantly arguing about the same things — money, communication, or who does what around the house. Maybe you've drifted apart, and you feel more like roommates sharing expenses than lovers sharing life. Or maybe everything looks fine from the outside, but inside you're both just going through the motions. ​You're not alone!
​
Common Issues Couples Face:
-
Communication breakdowns that leave you both frustrated
-
Financial stress that creates constant tension
-
Intimacy that's become rare or routine
-
Feeling like you're living like roommates sharing expenses
​
The Things Couples Feel:
-
"I feel alone, even though I'm married"
-
"I wonder if we'll ever get that spark back"
-
"I'm afraid we're just too different to make this work"
-
"Maybe we made a mistake"
-
"I don't know if it's too late for us"

Deep Down, You Know This Truth: Marriage is meant to be enjoyed. No one gets married planning to just survive. Every couple deserves to experience what God intended — a partnership filled with love, purpose, and unshakeable connection.
You Don't Have to Just Survive Your Marriage. God designed marriage for joy,
intimacy, and purpose — and it's possible for you.
We've Been Where You Are
​
Hi, we're Rick & Rebekah Porterfield — and we almost lost our marriage.
​
Thirty years ago, our relationship was hopeless. We were getting a divorce. We argued about everything and believed we were 100% incompatible. A PhD marriage counselor told us we were hopeless and needed to divorce! But God had other plans. He didn't just save our marriage — He transformed it into something better than we imagined possible.
​
We learned God's design for marriage and started doing that in our relationship. It worked. Now, after three decades of growth and over 25 years of helping couples, we've seen God restore hundreds of marriages that seemed hopeless.
​
We know the path forward — because we've walked it.

The Stakes: If nothing changes, small irritations can grow into resentments, and couples drift into living like strangers under the same roof.
​
But it doesn’t have to end that way. Six months from now, your story could be completely different — a marriage marked bye, healing, love and restoration instead of distance.
Your Story Isn’t Over: Every marriage can be a complete success — including yours. God didn’t bring you together by accident, and He isn’t finished with you.
​
With the right tools and encouragement, you can move from surviving to thriving. After decades of ministry, we’ve watched God restore marriages that seemed impossible. Yours can be next.
