LOVING ON PURPOSE Competitors

We speak hope into families around the world. With our podcasts, social media, videos, and articles, we proclaim biblical truths to help broken families find redemption in Jesus. Our team is passionate about advancing the Kingdom of God—and we love finding imaginative ways to do so. Join us through employment opportunities, summer internships, or volunteer work.

At FamilyLife, we understand there is a gap between the intention we have for our families and what we actually experience in life. Too often, our relationships fall short of what we desire them to be. We don’t show up like we want to. We find it hard to come through in hard times. We are missing some magic that we once had, or once dreamed of. It’s easy to be in to-do or too distracted mode to actually engage in the relationships we most treasure. Not to mention how all of these people can let us down at times as well. But this isn’t what we were made for. Instead, we believe God made us to live in perfect community with Him and each other. We believe He has designed families to be rich in love, full of joy, and generous to those around us. We believe He has the resources and tools for us to bridge the gap - to make our intentions match the reality of our relationships. To that end, we create content and experiences to help people grow more fulfilling connections with those they love most. FamilyLife is proud to be a part of the Cru family of ministries.

Co-founded by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman, The Gottman Institute has two major functions: helping couples directly, and providing state-of-the-art training to mental health professionals and other health care providers. The Gottman Institute applies leading-edge research on marriage in a practical, down-to-earth therapy and trains therapists committed to helping couples. No other approach to couples education and therapy has relied on such intensive, detailed, and long-term scientific study of why marriages succeed or fail. Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. For nearly four decades he has conducted research on all facets of relationships, including parenting issues. At The Gottman Institute, in collaboration with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, he developed an approach that not only supports and repairs troubled marriages and committed relationships, but strengthens happy ones. The Gottman Institute provides live workshops and take-home training materials for couples, while The Gottman Referral Network provides therapy referrals to couples. We understand that the human family is in crisis, and that all individuals are capable of and deserve compassion. It is our mission to reach out to families in order to help create and maintain greater love and health in relationships.
