Drs. Dave & Jan Stoop

We have a heart for being a part of what God wants to do in working miracles in couples' lives. Most are surprised to learn that the divorce rate among couples in churches today appears to be no different than the divorce rate in the general population. Yet there are churches that have virtually eliminated divorce within their congregation. It can be done! For over 25 years, we have presented programs that compliment or help initiate a marriage program in any church. Our workshops and retreats are practical and life-related, and have proven effective in helping couples build a marriage that lasts a lifetime. Over the years, we have encouraged hundreds of couples to pray together on a daily basis--one of the most powerful ways a couple can strengthen their marriage.

In addition we have authored a number of books which are available at your Christian bookstore, or online at Amazon. We'll soon have a new video workshop for couples and this will be announced when available. If you're interested in our ministry, please sign up for our email newsletter below, which features stories from couples along with updated information on our speaking schedule.

"I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I made you made up for mine. Two imperfect people who got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them -- it was that promise."

Thornton Wilder, "The Skin of our Teeth"
