From Rock Bottom to Restoration: Our Hope Weekend Story

Hope Weekend: Dekkar & Hannah’s Marriage Transformation

Kenny and Karen:The Knox Story

Getting Personal | a Tallahassee Story
In 2017, the Florida State University’s Florida Center for Prevention Research (FSUCPR) department was hired by Live the Life to help conduct independent research on our relationship and marriage education programs, so that we could have a comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of each. It didn’t take long for Cindy to recognize that the programs were not only effective but were regularly saving marriages.

A GOD MOMENT | a story of unexpected connection…
Prior to attending Hope Weekend, Mark and Susie were one meeting away from finalizing their divorce. All that was left to discuss with their lawyers was custody of the kids, but at the last moment, they decided to attend a Hope Weekend so they’d be able to say they’d tried everything.
Though not located in Central Florida, they made the decision to go through Hope Weekend in Orlando so their parents could care for the children.
