Marriage Workshops

For more than 35 years, Steve and Josie Abbruzzi have devoted their lives to helping couples find healing, strength, and purpose in their marriages. Having walked through their own season of brokenness—standing on the very brink of divorce—they know firsthand the restoring power of God’s grace. Their testimony is living proof that what seems impossible in the natural is completely possible with God.

Their passion for marriages is unmistakable. Through countless hours of mentoring and counseling, Steve and Josie have poured into couples who felt lost, distant, or without hope. Their heart is to see husbands and wives not just stay together—but thrive together through the transforming truth of God’s Word.

Their ministry journey began in 1990 with Marriage Plus Ministries, where they served as workshop leaders and trainers across the country. At that time, Marriage Plus was the only marriage ministry endorsed by Pat Robertson and The 700 Club, celebrating over 10,000 canceled divorces. That legacy of redemption continues through Together Forever Marriage Ministries today.

Steve and Josie are also certified SYMBIS facilitators and marriage mentors under Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, providing premarital training and one-year follow-up mentoring for newlyweds. They have received additional training through Jimmy Evans Ministries, teaching the Marriage on the Rock course—a biblical foundation for healthy, lasting marriages.

Pastor Steve Abbruzzi is an ordained and licensed minister, as well as a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). Together, he and Josie offer biblically grounded counseling and mentorship for couples and singles seeking direction, healing, or preparation for marriage.

Every Together Forever Marriage Workshop blends the truth of Scripture with practical tools drawn from over 44 years of marriage experience. Their teaching is transparent, relatable, and filled with hope—rooted in the belief that God’s Word holds the answers for every relationship challenge we face.

Steve and Josie believe that strong families build strong churches—and strong churches build strong communities. Yet, today, all three are under tremendous pressure. That’s why their workshops are designed to equip couples with biblical principles that restore unity, reignite love, and rebuild trust.

If your church, group, or organization desires to invest in the future of marriages, we’d love to connect with you. Invite Together Forever Marriage Ministries to bring this message of hope, healing, and restoration to your church, your community, or your city.

Let’s partner together to cancel more divorces—and celebrate more victories—in Jesus’ precious name.

What Couples Will Learn

Each Together Forever Marriage Workshop is designed to bring real hope, healing, and heart change through God’s Word. Couples will discover practical tools and biblical truths they can apply immediately in their relationship.

In these workshops, couples will learn how to:

Rebuild trust and rekindle connection through grace, forgiveness, and understanding.
Communicate with compassion—listening to be heard and speaking to build up, not tear down.
Strengthen spiritual intimacy by inviting Christ into the center of their marriage.
Navigate conflict biblically with humility, patience, and prayer.
Understand each other’s differences and turn them into strengths instead of sources of tension.
Renew love and passion by rediscovering God’s purpose for their union.
Build a lasting legacy for their children, church, and community through a Christ-centered marriage.

Our goal isn’t just to help marriages survive—it’s to see them thrive, united under the love and leadership of Jesus Christ.
