  <description>Marriage is on the rocks in America. For many, divorce is no longer unthinkable; it's the norm. We're creating broken families who turn away from God, becoming increasingly atomized in a country that's lost its sense of direction and purpose.
JP De Gance is lighting the path back to sanity. De Gance is founder and president of Communio (https://communio.org), a Christian parachurch ministry working to help priests and pastors cultivate marriage enrichment programs: Ministries designed to help couples improve their marriage before they fail through biblical love and admonition. Join host Hayden Ludwig as we explore this innovative and powerful movement.
