12. Dr. Ramon Presson & the "Two Minute Drill"

Jason and Becky Kridner didn't know if they were going to make it past thirteen years of marriage until they found Dynamic Marriage. After being a part of a Dynamic Marriage training weekend, they knew immediately that the wanted to heal first, then help other marriages to heal and thrive too.

The Kridners have been leading Dynamic Marriage workshops now for fifteen years. This couple enjoys a flourishing marriage that they've worked hard on and continue to do so. Jason says, "It's less about information (because there are many courses and curriculums out there), but none is as transformational as Marriage Dynamic's Dynamic Marriage course."

These top notch, vulnerable and relatable facilitators know - there's nothing that will change the course of dead-end marriage quite like Dynamic Marriage!

Pastor Mike and Connie Hammer know the power of healthy families and the outcome that it produces in their church and community. They pastor a thriving church in Dillsburg, PA (Celebration Church) and have committed to teaching and counseling couples of all ages in not only their married journey, but also their walk with Christ.

Marriage Dynamics Institute's core value is to support marriage and family to thrive in a desperate culture. Pastor Mike and Connie's expressed desire is to encourage every marriage to be a couples centered relationship instead of kids centered. Finding that balance in marriage, ministry and raising a family is the goal -- to work together in a way that honors Christ and reflects lives transformed by the gospel.

Surviving infidelity is one of the hardest journeys in any marriage. This episode features the true story of ultimate betrayal and how Tracy and Kathy were able to overcome the worst odds. Thanks to MDI, they were able to use the tools needed for recovery, giving hope for their future.

Your marriage can survive an affair. Healing from infidelity is hard, painful work; both of you must be committed to repairing the damage, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting. The unfaithful spouse must be willing to stop the affair, provide all details honestly and completely, and take the steps necessary to prove his or her trustworthiness. But it's not an easy road..
