When your marriage is struggling, it’s hard to know who to talk to.
Friends and family may take sides, and it can feel hard to raise at church. Pastor Victor gives couples a private place to talk honestly, with a pastor who has spent 28 years caring for families.
You can talk to him about things like:
- Broken trust or betrayal
- Feeling distant from each other
- Arguments that never get resolved
- Strain from money, work or family
- Getting ready for married life
Everything you tell him is kept confidential.

What couples say
Tom and RachelStrengthening your marriageWe weren’t in crisis. We just felt like flatmates. The sessions gave us time to talk properly again, and we’ve kept the habits going since.
Daniel and MeiPreparing for marriageWe talked about money, family and faith before the wedding instead of after it. It was honest without ever feeling heavy.
Mateo and SofiaPreparing for marriagePastor Victor asked the questions we’d been avoiding. We started married life knowing each other much better.
Budi and SariStrengthening your marriageAfter many years together we thought there was nothing new to learn about each other. We were wrong, in a good way.
Peter and MargaretMarriage restorationWe came close to giving up. He listened to both of us without taking sides, and kept pointing us back to God’s word.
Kwame and AbenaPreparing for marriageHaving the sessions online fitted around our shifts. We’d recommend them to any engaged couple.
Samuel and GraceMarriage restorationTrust had been broken in our marriage. Nothing was rushed, and for the first time in years we prayed together.
Jordan and ChloeStrengthening your marriageIt felt like talking to a wise uncle. He was warm and honest, and everything stayed private.
