“My husband is now my best friend.”—Nicole (and Jeff) Reece, Sarasota

“My husband is now my best friend.”

The Baycross Christian Family Foundation awarded a grant to Live the Life Bradenton to help four couples who are struggling to save their marriage. These four couples have a total of 12 children.  These families desperately need help from Live the Live marriage coaches and do not have the funds to pay for it.

A powerful quote from U.S. Senator Marco Rubio on January 8, 2014 sums up the policy areas impacted by marriage:  

  “The truth is, the greatest tool to lift children and families from poverty is one that decreases the probability of child poverty by 82%.  But it isn’t a government spending program.  It’s called marriage.  Fifty years ago, today, when the War on Poverty was launched, 93% of children born in the United States were form to married parents.  By 2010 that number has plummeted to 60%. It should not surprise us that 71% of poor families with children are not headed by a married couple.” 

The grant from Baycross to Live the Life Bradenton will enable the marriage coaches at Live the Life to continue helping these 4 couples to reconcile and restore their marriages.   Baycross is honored to be a part of  Live the Life’s important mission to restore and strengthen marriages for the glory of God and for the good of our community.

“You were a light in the darkness for our marriage.  Thank you!
