Testimonial: This Couple Found Safety in Their Marriage Through Hope Restored

Date: Aug 5, 2025

Theme: Communication & Conflict

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

For today’s episode, we have the extreme honour of introducing a powerful testimonial of hope being restored. Gary and Joy had been married for 37 years, but as time went on, they both felt increasingly alone in the relationship. When they became empty nesters, the problems in their marriage they’d been avoiding for years could no longer be ignored. Then they heard about Hope Restored, a marriage intensive program at Focus on the Family Canada. Since 2018, countless couples on the brink of divorce have attended Hope Restored intensives at our Canadian retreat centres. By working with our marriage counsellors in both group and private intensives, couples like Gary and Joy discovered newfound hope for their marriages.

Now, let’s hear from Gary and Joy.
