But numbers alone don’t tell the whole story.
Not long ago, a husband and wife were on the brink of divorce. Both had already hired lawyers. She was a school teacher, and they had school-age children. They were waiting until after the holidays to finalize everything.
Then, something unexpected happened. The school where she worked was part of a Communio-supported church. That church had just launched its first facilitator-led, evidence-based marriage retreat. The couple, out of desperation, decided to attend.
Their pastor called us after the weekend. Everything changed.
The retreat transformed their perspective, their communication, and their hope for their marriage. They stopped their divorce proceedings and decided to fight for their family.
Their church’s investment in marriage ministry didn’t just save their relationship—it helped preserve their children’s faith and kept them engaged in the Church.
