Group Curriculum
A faith-filled, church-based curriculum that equips believers to trust God's power to restore covenant marriages — even after separation or divorce.
"With God all things are possible." — Matthew 19:26 (ESV)
DivorceCare helps people grieve and move on after the end of a marriage, and we honor the powerful ways God has used that ministry to bring healing to hurting families. The Standing for Marriage Restoration Curriculum takes a different path. It is designed to equip participants to trust God for the restoration of their marriage — even after separation or divorce. Like DivorceCare, we emphasize walking in Hope, Joy, and Peace, but we do so as participants stand and believe God for their marriage miracle. Before your church tells someone their marriage is over, let's give God a chance to do what only He can do. *Not affiliated with DivorceCare

"We know what it means to stand when everything says it's over. God restored our own marriage after divorce papers were finalized — and He can do the same for yours."
Pastor Jason and Christine Carver are the founders of Standing for Marriage Restoration. Their own marriage was miraculously restored even after their divorce was finalized, making them living proof of the message this curriculum carries.
For over 25 years, Jason has served in various pastoral leadership roles and carries a deep conviction about the power of the local church to impact lives and restore families. He is the author of the best-selling book 40 Day Stand for Marriage Restoration and Rekindling Love for Your Spouse as You Stand for Your Marriage.
Jason and Christine are both Board Certified Christian Counselors and the parents of two amazing daughters. Through their ministry, they have helped thousands of believers develop bold, biblical faith to stand for the restoration of their marriages.

"I had given up all hope. My spouse had filed for divorce and moved out. After going through this curriculum at my church, my faith was completely renewed. Six months later, my spouse came home. God is faithful."
"As a pastor with over four decades of pastoral ministry, I've often found myself meeting with a couple in a seemingly hopeless marriage. While my desire is always to see healing and restoration, there have been times when I also did not see how this relationship could be restored. My message of restoration was always there but it sometimes faded beneath the overwhelming darkness of the circumstances. This curriculum has renewed in me a new level of conviction in the power of God to restore even the most broken marriage!"
"I went in believing restoration was impossible. I came out declaring that nothing is impossible with God. The 40-day reading plan changed how I pray, how I stand, and how I believe."
