JULY 2025 Letter LIVING WELL

“The Marriage Advice You Didn’t See Coming…”

We all get advice when we get married—but sometimes, it’s the quiet, unexpected words that stick. What’s the marriage advice you didn’t know you needed… until it made all the difference?

We recently received a message from someone that was in one of our Preparing for Marriage classes. With her permission, we are sharing it with you.

Good Morning Donna.
Today is our 25th anniversary and you guys are definitely part of the reason we are still going strong. Thank you for all you and your husband poured into us to help our marriage succeed. We often talk about your marriage class and all the lessons we learned. They kinda seemed like small concepts at the time but it turns out that success is in the details. Our kids are getting older now which makes me wonder, might you have a list of some of the books you had us read in your class..... 

Oh also your concept about not laying a brick down because it will start to build a wall has been thought about many times. Again, thank you for helping us build such a firm foundation .... thank you for giving us the tools we didn’t really know we needed. You guys made a big difference in our lives.... I’m excited to be able to share your wisdom with my kids when it’s time.

We want YOU to share in our joy! YOUR support, prayers, and encouragement made it possible for us to spend time learning, teaching, and counseling on Biblical marriage.

Over the years, we've helped countless couples navigate through their crises, but the real magic happens when we focus on strengthening marriages before challenges arise. The benefits are truly immeasurable! Now, we're seeing the children of some of our couples tie the knot, and it feels like we’re a part of their journey too. It’s amazing to witness how a strong, healthy marriage continues to shape and influence their lives for the better.

What are some of those concepts and books about marriage?

ON our WEBSITE, we have a tab for ENRICH where you will find lots of downloadable resources. Also, the tab for BLOGS will provide a link to our MARRIAGE BLOG.

Please let us know how you are doing. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!

Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards

P.S. Please pray for us as we train others to strengthen marriages and families.

The water that I will give him
will become in him
a well of water springing up to eternal life.
