Common Questions About Hope Restored
How is this different from marriage counseling?
Hope Restored is not weekly counseling. It’s a focused, immersive marriage intensive.
Couples step away from daily distractions and spend extended time with licensed Christian counselors in a biblically grounded environment. This allows deeper issues to be addressed more quickly than traditional one-hour sessions spread over months.
Many couples come after trying counseling and feeling stuck. Others come before things reach that point. Hope Restored meets couples wherever they are.
What if my spouse doesn’t want to come?
This is very common you’re not alone.
Many couples attend because one spouse took the first step. Hesitation often comes from fear, discouragement, or uncertainty not a lack of care.
Our team can help you think through next steps, answer questions, and guide you in approaching the conversation with grace. You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Can God really save my marriage?
Yes. We believe He can.
We have seen God bring healing and hope to marriages that felt beyond repair. While restoration is a process, no marriage is beyond God’s reach.
Hope Restored isn’t about quick fixes it’s about inviting God into the broken places and taking intentional steps forward together.
Do you offer financial assistance?
Yes. Limited financial assistance is available for couples.
Scholarships are made possible by generous donors and vary by location and availability. Our team can help you explore options and determine what may be available for your situation.
