According to the most recent divorce statistics from Barna Group—a research organization that tracks trends related to how faith and culture intersect—one-third of all marriages, even among Christians, end in divorce. Married for Real authors, Eddie George, a retired successful NFL player, and Tamara George, popular member of platinum-selling girl group “SWV,” both come from broken homes with each of their parents’ marriages ending in divorce. The two are hoping that by openly sharing their struggles and hard-learned strategies, they will contribute to the decline in divorce rates.

“EEW Magazine is pleased to team up with Abingdon Press to promote Married for Real which offers up God-centered advice for building strong marital bonds rooted in principles of the Bible,” said Dianna Hobbs, Founder and Editor-In-Chief of the publication, also a wife of 14 years. “I believe when people are given the right tools to equip them, they can experience fruitfulness and wholeness in every area of their lives.”

National Marriage Week, which EEW Magazine recognizes annually, is a collaborative effort to encourage many diverse groups to strengthen individual marriages, reduce the divorce rate, and build a stronger marriage culture, which in turn helps curtail poverty and benefits children.
