To Have & To Hold

Because when Christ is the foundation, love doesn’t just endure—it flourishes.

Why We Exist

In a world where many marriages are barely holding on, we believe there’s a better way—God's way.

To Have and To Hold Marriage Ministry was born from real experience and a deep burden: to see marriages healed, strengthened, and restored through the power of God’s Word and authentic, Spirit-led community.

Marriages That Last

We know it's not always a lack of love or effort that causes marriages to struggle—but often a lack of support, guidance, and the tools to apply biblical truth to real-life challenges.

That’s why we exist: to walk with couples beyond the wedding vows and into the beautiful, sometimes messy, always meaningful work of building a Christ-centered covenant that lasts.

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
— Ecclesiastes 4:12

Our Story

"We came close to the edge—but God pulled us back. And now, we pour from what He’s restored."
— Founders

Marriage ministry leaders Devon and Patricia Wright smiling at each other.

Like so many, we faced storms that shook our foundation. We know what it feels like to fight for your marriage through tears, prayer, and the grace of God.

But we also know what restoration looks like when Jesus is at the center and others are walking with you in faith.

We launched To Have and To Hold for couples just like us. Those who feel alone. Those hungry for something real. Those ready to rebuild or take their love deeper than ever before.

This isn’t just a ministry. It’s a movement—one that believes every marriage can be redeemed, renewed, and made whole.
