The Brendtros have a strong stance on wholehearted family life, particularly in marriage. When we wrap wedding presents we celebrate with our friends, and expect that faithfulness will be the hallmark of a new life together.

But that’s not always the case, is it? Some who say those “until death do us part” vows walking through a scary season of life. Family has been  squandered, hopes and dreams hang by a thread. Both partners may be completely exhausted. The home you’ve shared together is no longer a refuge, it’s a battleground. This isn’t what you signed up for and you deserve better.

Marriage is God’s Idea

Marriage relationships are a bond meant to balance the stress of life, a joyful partnership that makes life brilliant and bearable.  But throw imperfect people into close proximity for a lifetime commitment and it can feel like barreling over rapids in a flimsy box.

Marriage between two good hearted people is God’s idea, to be a picture of the unbreakable bond of love between Christ and the church. We are powerful partners who make plain to the world the unceasing love of God. Our home is a source of blessing to our families and community. Our light unmasks the enemy as it illuminates God’s unfathomable goodness. The devotion in our home is the beauty of holiness.
