| "Our Weekend with marriage restored was the best thing that ever happened to us. We had been to counseling two different times and what we learned on our weekend greatly surpassed all of it. The weekend saved our marriage. We now have tools to help us through struggles and trials we will face in our future. We now see a bright future for our marriage. Meeting our presenters and hearing their testimonies has given us real hope. We had both had infidelity issues in our marriage. Where all hope was lost we have gained a renewed and loving marriage. I have already recommended this to other couples that are in crisis. We always knew we loved each other but were not communicating well with each other at all. Now we are. " |

| "Sometimes marriage seminars waste time dancing around the issues. MarriageRestored is not that type of ministry. By helping couples learn to communicate, they helped us get beyond our crisis." |

| "Our marriage was over. I had the house picked out that the children and I were going to move into. My pastor suggested attending the MR weekend and I readily agreed. My husband was reluctant at first - why should we travel 4 1/2 hours for strangers to save our wrecked marriage. He was sure there was nothing they could do for us. WOW! What a powerful and intense weekend. We now have a new start (beginning). WE are both glad we came." |

| "This weekend has been the best weekend of our lives. I know tht if we would not have come here, we would have never made it in our marriage. God has blessed our lives so much through the MarriageRestored weekend. It was good to know that other couples have been through the same or similar thing that we have and have made it beyond their crisis." |

| "When we began this weekend, we were hopeful, yet skeptical. We thought our problems were so much worse than everyone elses. Sure, the program would probably work for the other couples, but how could it help us? Well, our God is awesome! This weekend worked true miracles in our marriage. We learned communiction skills and concepts that helped us get through issues we never dreamed we'd be able to get through in a weekend - we hadn't been able to work through them in five years!" |

| "We cannot say enough about this program. Tammy and I were on a one way road to destruction in our lives. We had actually filed divorce and were in a deep and ugly custody battle over our five year old daughter. Upon completing the program, we immediately dropped the divorce and became a complete family again. Now, Tammy and I are the strongest and most united we have ever been in the 10 years we have been together. What we learned this weekend is that ANY marriage can be restored. No matter what has happened or how ugly it has been, with the help of this program, any marriage can be restored. " |

| "About 4 years ago now me and my husband attened a MR weekend. I told my husband that our marriage was over, but had promised him I would attend this weekend as a last chance effort. I am so happy to say we are still married and very happy at that. It's amazing at how much better our relationship is. God can take something so bad and make it amazing. I can honestly say I love him more and more every day. Thanks you so much MR for helping us get back on track." |

| "I walked into our Marriage Restored weekend broken, angry, feeling undescribable guilt, and wanting to be with someone else other than my spouse. Our friends had gone to a MR weekend, and blessed us by paying for us to attend, so I felt like I was being "forced" into going. I wanted out of the marriage, and as far as I was concerned, it was over.
I left at the end of that weekend, totally in love with my husband again, and also had the tools to make my marriage a success. I can honestly say, as bad as ours had become, I cannot imagine ONE COUPLE.... (no matter what the circumstances) leaving an MR weekend still considering divorce.
You owe it to YOURSELF and to God, to try this last effort before you end it.
God Bless you! I'm praying you through!!!" |

| "My husband and I were living in two different homes when we attended marriage restored. Are marriage was almost over. I was already online looking up divorce papers. The marriage had sufered an afair and years of fighting. (we had only been married three years). My husband even said after I signed us up not to have hope. So I decided just to trust in God.
After our weekend we both left learning so much about the true meaning of marriage.
I would like to say he moved back in. But the truth is it took three months before he came home. I want everyone to know that with out God, Marriage restored, counceling, and a good support system my marriage wouldn't be growing like it is today. Not only did we come together, we are now walking with the Lord and understanding eachother more than ever before. Dont give up on your marriage. I know the hard times, the painful days, and dought you may be feeling, but if my marriage could be saved anyones can. So take the step and go to a marriage restored weekend. God Bless you on your new journey.

| "We can't express how much this weekend has helped our relationship. We came in not knowing what to expect and we were amazed that other couples were experiencing the same struggles as we were. This weekend has helped us be more open to each other and realize that our love for each other is deeper than we ever imagined. We have learned new tools of communication and we are going to continue to use them." |

| "This weekend gave a vision of hope in our and the tools to accomplish what we now have hope for!! We saw couples who had not only survived their marital and personal crises, but had THRIVED in the days following. For the first time, I saw couples who obviously loved and respected each other, after walking through what has ended many, many marriages. That bolstered my hope. I don't want a marriage that survived a crisis, but remains in bitterness and distrust. I want to look at my husband with respect and love...and mean it!! Being on the weekend gave us an opportunity to look beyond the pain we were feeling, to connect over the distance we couldn't seem to bridge before, and the tools to bring that intimacy and conversation home. We are a long way from completely restored, and it will take work on both of our parts for that restoration to be achieved, but we are on our way. And I don't believe we could have done it without this weekend. " |

| "Praise God that this ministry came to us when it did! We are a re-married couple that found out almost too late that it's easier to quit the second time around. We were able to learn how to see each other NOT as who they weren't or who they should be...but as who they are. We knew we loved each other, but we were FAR from liking each other. It is SO worth the time and energy to attend this weekend...words can not,not,not do this experience justice!" |

| "The marriage restored weekend couldnt have happened at a better time in the lives of Sara and I. We were married for 2.5 years, but were just days away from having the divorce papers finalized. I wasnt to fond of the idea of going at first, and actually decided Id go only to put an answer to 2 questions I had going through my head; whether this divorce was the right thing to do, or if we could salvage our marriage and work on it. Thank GOD it was the 2nd question that was answered. We prayed, talked, cried...and realized that we had to work on our marriage. By Sunday afternoon we had both agreed, monday morning we were going to call both our attornies and cancel the divorce papers...which were set to be near finalized later that week. God worked a miracle in our marriage, no doubt about that." |

| "The weekend helped me to realize that God does want my marriage to succeed no matter what has happened. I realized that even if adultry has been committed that God still wants to restore the marriage. How sad to realize that even the church has allowed itself to believe that God would want a couple to get a divorce in the case of adultry. There truly is nothing too big for God! " |

| "This weekend has been the most meaningful of our entire relationship. Right before we came we were discussing seperation and had lost all hope of being able to heal our marriage. We are so greatful that God had other plans. It blessed us to see and hear from other couples who had experienced the same crisis we had and they were stronger for it as I now know we will be as well. We appreciate all of the presenters willingness to share." |

Coming into it, we both felt hesitancy at what would be expected of us, but the joy and forgiveness we discovered over the weekend far exceeded our expectations. We truly think that God has brought us together and has a wonderful plan for our lives." |
