Marriage Matters Now Welcomes You
Mission Statement of
Marriage Matters Now
Marriage Matters Now was birthed from our real life experience of hitting a wall at the 12 year mark of our marriage. We had to decide whether to walk away or dive into what God intended when he created marriage. We made the choice to get real, safe and vulnerable. From all that God taught us through that experience, we grew a passion and heart for others marriage.
Marriage Matters Now at a Glance
The Heart of Steve and Debbie Wilson
Steve and Debbie Wilson’s heart beats for stronger healthier marriages. In 1990, their marriage fell apart. With God’s intervention and his promise, ”that what He began, he will complete,” Phil 1:6, they worked their way back stronger than ever. It totally changed their passion and journey. After four years of working towards a great marriage, God impressed them to began sharing what God had done and how he could help every marriage. Thus they began teaching marriage conferences around the nation. They are sought out speakers and love every opportunity to share with churches of all sizes, ministers and wives, corporations, and any situation God brings into their path. They speak to all denominations and in all different settings.
Steve and Debbie have been married 46 years. Steve has his Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family counseling and Debbie has her BA in Psychology. They have 3 grown children, two daughter in laws and a son in law and 6 incredible grandchildren. Family is a major priority in their lives and they love sharing their story and experiences of their life and family.
Twenty seven years ago they developed their first conference which deals with the things that were biting their marriage. Everyday issues that drained the life out of their relationship. It is called the Six Mosquitoes, which has now been revised and enhanced, adding two more issues (Mosquitoes). They have re-written the book on this and is available on this website.
Secondly, God taught them how to communicate beyond surface issues to the heart. The conference titled “Communication: The Missing Piece” teaches couples to take the Six Steps to Communicate at such a level that they are emotionally married. Their second book was written a few years ago on this subject.
Steve and Debbie have multiple topics to speak on in any setting you desire. They normally start with "The 8 Mosquitoes" conference and then "The Communication Conference." They also have a "Parenting with Purpose" conference and our brand new conference is "A New Way to Love." And now they have added "The Intentional Marriage, 10 Things every spouse needs." All of these conferences are normally 4-5 hours of speaking normally split into 2 days.
