More About Greg and Julie
And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation.

Helping Others
In the words of St. John Paul II the Great, he wisely stated, "Many couples find themselves uncertain about the true meaning of their relationship, leading to considerable turmoil and suffering. On the contrary, there are others who emerge stronger by overcoming the pressures of modern life, embracing the profound love and responsibility of the marriage covenant, and recognizing children as a special gift from God to both them and society. The family's well-being ripples out to impact the nation and, ultimately, the entire world we inhabit." Through dedicated efforts, we have successfully achieved a harmonious balance between our personal, family, and professional lives. This achievement gives us confidence that we can extend the same guidance and support to you!

Marriage 911
An inspiring message of hope resonates with spouses worldwide. Greg and Julie Alexander, once feeling trapped in a lifeless and loveless marriage, believed divorce was their only way out. However, a remarkable turn of events occurred when a devoted priest steered them back to the profound truths of their faith. Embracing these truths wholeheartedly, they managed to rekindle the love they once shared. Their incredible journey from the precipice of divorce to a joyous and fulfilling marriage, deeply rooted in their Catholic faith, is chronicled in "Marriage 911." Narrated from both spouses' perspectives, this intimate account offers invaluable insights, including three vital questions every married couple should ponder. The book also provides practical, real-life tips for reigniting a marriage that has lost its way. With their personal story, Greg and Julie aim to instill hope in all married couples who may find themselves on the brink of despair. By showing that transformation is possible, they offer a beacon of light to couples yearning to restore and strengthen their bond through faith and dedication.
