Dee Dee Mayer: RelateStrong: Healthy Marriages, Strong Ministries

Ministry can be both a sacred calling and a significant strain on marriage. In this session, we’ll cast a compelling vision for what a thriving ministry marriage can look like and why relational health is not optional for long-term ministry fruitfulness. Drawing from the RelateStrong framework, we’ll explore how couples get caught in predictable cycles of pain and how they can move toward patterns of peace, connection, and growing intimacy that lasts. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective, a simple relational lens for understanding what’s happening when in conflict, and practical next steps for strengthening “us” in the midst of ministry demands. This session is for leaders who want their marriage to be a source of strength.
