We've been married almost 10 years.  In our journey we have experienced the incredible joy of children being born, serving alongside one another in our adult fellowship, Titus II, celebrating the completion of graduate degrees, relaxing on family trips and over the last three years, engaging in Stonebriar's ministry for all marriages, MarriageCore.

We are intimately acquainted with the struggles and pain of financial difficulty, stresses that come from in-laws, lack of feeling connected when children come on to the scene and of course just navigating the path in life that seems to be so daily.

God has used MarriageCore in a very powerful way in our marriage, keeping us communicating openly and intimately connected.  Through the many practical lessons, God continues to refine, in ways that only He can, us as individuals and as an awesome byproduct, our marriage has been ever strengthened.

It was in our MarriageCore group we found hope to overcome certain areas in which only obstacles stood before.  It was in the safe environment, where we could be open with other couples.  It was a place of grace and accountability.  It was a place of great laughter and where the concept of community took on tangible meaning.

We never stop changing as individuals.  We must stay diligent, disciplined, and intentional to grow deeper in our marriages.  This takes a tremendous amount of effort and work.  With those alongside you in MarriageCore, the work becomes easier and the job, while never complete, becomes possible.

We hope you would be willing to be willing to come join us on Tuesday night and experience what God might want to do in you and even in your marriage.      -Chad and Andi Thacker
