Couples Marriage Testimony
In-person & online
Looking for a Marriage Healing Testimony? Melissa and Anthony offer their love for the transformative power of Christ by sharing in their individual and marital healing journey with others. From living under the strong-hold of addictions and hidden sin- after nearly divorcing 5 years into their marriage they hit rock bottom only to find Christ waiting for them there. They have a love for the Catholic faith, and living in a total, fruitful, faithful and free marriage. By God’s grace and abundant love, they share in a new-found freedom of the Spirit experiencing the full-family life they dreamed of, now raising 5 beautiful and crazy kiddos.
Anthony and Melissa are personal, refreshing, and intimate with individuals about their real-life experiences of hitting rock bottom and rising a-new.
Melissa shares in her love for spousalhood and the graces that come from the Sacraments. She focuses in on the Church’s teachings zooming in on the power of obedience and experiencing the fruits from it, touching on subjects like NFP, and growing in emotional and spiritual intimacy as a couple.
Anthony brings his love for the vocation of marriage and parenthood sharing in testimony while taking a deep dive into the freedom Christ offers us, ephasizing on identity and living free from disordered desires and addictions. After struggling for decades with his own interior battles, Anthony has found freedom in living porn-free and is in recovery for alcoholism. He tenderly touches the hearts of men by bringing to light areas in which we are wounded and how those wounds can become manifest causing overt disordered behaviors and patterns that can negatively effect the spousalbond and family foundation.
Together they have offered healing testimony online and in person, including for parish pre-cana programs. They have mentored individuals and couples sharing in the fruits from their healing journey as they strive to lead the abundant life God intends for each of us!
