Welcome to Thrive Marriage
What if God has still more for your marriage?
A Special Offer for Cru Staff Couples
As the former National Campus Director in Turkey, Chris & Beth Bruno understand the unique needs of Cru staff. Marriage is hard! Marriage in ministry is even harder when time and finances are limited. We created Thrive to help couples grow without the price tag of marriage counseling. And with the “CRU” coupon code, we’re offering staff an even deeper discount on the Lab. Read on.
Does this sound like you?
The fishbowl of ministry puts pressure on your marriage to be the “perfect couple”, for your ministry partners, co-workers, even students.
You're tired of how much MPD is straining your marriage. It’s wearing you out.
You want to connect with your spouse in deeper ways that aren’t about your ministry.
You feel some resentment about how ministry pulls your spouse away, and it feels like you are getting the leftovers.
Don’t take our word for it
Hear how Thrive has impacted the lives of members.
