Healthy Churches Are Built on Healthy Marriages

See Marriages Thrive
Watch as the couples in your church grow together toward Jesus. Their newly found energy will radiate throughout your church.
Dear Pastor,
I know your heart is for your people. You don’t want ‘good enough’—you want to see great things happen in their lives.
But for most people, the potential of their life is connected to their marriage. And marriage is hard. So many marriages flounder—not broken, but not thriving either. And many marriages struggle until they break.
But they deserve better. They deserve the love and vibrance that Christ had in mind. That’s why DGR was founded—to help couples develop great relationships.
Since opening our retreat center in Pella, we’ve helped over 800 couples learn a different way— Jesus’ way—and it’s life changing. I’d love for you to give us a call.
