It's always encouraging to speak with others who are positively impacting marriages and families in the United States...and beyond! We were honored to be interviewed by Amy Morgan from the San Antonio Marriage Initiative. Check out more videos like this https://www.youtube.com/@themarriageinitiative

Here are some show notes from our Interview:
Gil and Brenda Stuart have capitalized on their individual strengths as a counselor and coach to help people with their relationships for the past 18 years. They specialize by using their own marriage-blending, to inspire many of those who are in second marriages.

“If we learned well from our mistakes, the new marriage can actually thrive and impact the next generation for good,” Gil says.

The Stuarts feel that it is inspiring and humbling to be a part of something bigger than themselves and they recognize the struggle the church has had, in handling divorce and remarried people. With this in mind, they take a forward-looking perspective by helping couples meet goals, retain and remember the material presented to them; and offering much-needed hope for those in second marriages.

Gil and Brenda note that what energizes them most is when they see a couple ready to divorce or throw in the towel, and make a shift. "It's going to impact their legacy, their kids and grandkids. They were willing to put in the work. When I see people not waste their pain and take their story and redeem it, that shows God working! If we can help one couple, I'm in. We're good." - Brenda Stuart

If you work with blended families, you will want to join us for this special "Up Close and Personal."
