Stronger Marriages.
Restored Relationships.
Renewed Hope.
Whether your marriage is flourishing or finding things hard, Jon and Jude offer a warm, unhurried place to reconnect — with biblical teaching, honest conversation and prayer.
Wherever you are
Every marriage has a story
Some couples come to us simply wanting to keep a good marriage growing. Some are preparing to marry. Others are carrying something heavy and would value a safe place to talk.
Wherever your story has reached, you are welcome. Isaiah 61 speaks of binding up the broken-hearted and rebuilding what has been worn down — we believe God still does that work, gently and in his time.

Jon and Jude
Married since 1980, with six children, we left our careers in late 2016 to follow what we believed God was asking of us through Isaiah 61. We have served in churches in the UK, Canada, the USA and Eswatini.
Jon's background is in education, including a school he established for orphaned children in Eswatini. Jude's is in nursing, in the UK and at a clinic in Eswatini. We are still learning, and still listening.

Marriage Enrichment
Time to invest in each other
A thoughtful programme for couples at any stage — not a crisis course, and never a performance.
Practical
Tools you can take home and use: listening well, talking things through, and handling disagreement kindly.
Biblical
Teaching rooted in Scripture and in many years of pastoral experience, in plain and honest language.
Private
Time set aside for each couple to reflect and talk together. Sharing in front of others is never required.
Real stories
“We stayed at Jon and Jude’s for a weekend with our friend Ruth. We had a lovely time. Jon and Jude cared for us so well in every way, with beautiful comfy rooms, wonderful food, and great company.”
Neil and Jackie — Reading, UK

A retreat house set aside for rest
We hope one day to see a non-profit retreat house: a peaceful place where couples, individuals and church groups can come away without cost being the obstacle. It does not exist yet — it is something we are praying towards.

There is nothing to commit to. Tell us a little about where you are, and we will reply personally.
