💍 Brad & Maria’s Journey: From Chaos to Covenant Marriage

When Brad and Maria first connected with McGrane Global Centers, they were at two very different points in life — both searching for healing, both yearning for something real. What began as a desperate attempt to find clarity became a complete marriage makeover that transformed not just their relationship, but their faith, identity, and future.

When Everything Fell Apart

Brad admits that before his breakthrough, his life looked perfect from the outside — but inside, everything was collapsing. “I was married with four children and thought I was managing just fine,” he recalls. “But really, I was a train wreck. Personally, professionally, and spiritually.”

After his first divorce came chaos — then another marriage that ended in even deeper heartbreak. His children didn’t want to speak to him, his finances were in disarray, and he found himself living with his parents at 43. “That’s when I knew it was time to get real,” Brad says.

Through the McGrane Global Centers and the SEE System®, Brad began to rediscover himself. “It was hours of deep reflection, hard truth, and faith-filled conversations that helped me finally face what I’d been avoiding. That’s when I became ready — really ready — for a new beginning.”

Not long after, he met Maria. Together, they began working with Bill and Linda McGrane through a program that would change their lives — a Christian marriage counseling process built on grace, truth, and powerful marriage counseling techniques designed to rebuild love from the ground up.

A Skeptical Beginning Turned Into Hope

Maria shares, “Before meeting Brad, I was living in New York, doing my own thing, but waiting for the husband God had for me. When we started dating, I wanted clarity. That’s when we reached out to Bill and Linda.”

She was skeptical at first. “I’d never done anything like this. But from the very first session, I felt something different — it was transparent, loving, and nonjudgmental. It gave us exactly what we needed at the right time.”

Brad wasn’t skeptical — he was certain. “I’d seen the McGranes’ results. They had what I wanted — a thriving, lasting marriage rooted in faith. If I wanted something different, I had to learn from people who had walked the path successfully.”

A 90-Day Transformation

In the first week of their 90-day marriage makeover, the focus was clear: identity and truth. Brad remembers, “You took us right into the heart of things — selfishness versus self-esteem — and helped us understand who we really are.”

Maria adds, “For me, it was realizing my identity in Christ — that I’m a daughter of the Most High, not defined by my past or by others’ expectations. Learning how to communicate differently with Brad changed everything. I stopped trying to talk my way and started communicating his way.”

That single shift opened the door to empathy, understanding, and deeper connection — the

foundation of any healthy relationship.

Forgiveness, Freedom, and Faith

By the end of their 90 days, both had experienced transformation on a soul level. Brad says, “The program gave us a foundation that lasts. The sessions, visuals, and group interaction reinforced everything we were learning. You either invest in healing now or pay the price later — we chose healing.”

For Maria, one lesson stood out above all: forgiveness. “Forgiving my father and others from my past freed me to stop holding my husband accountable for someone else’s mistakes. It opened my heart to real love and connection.”

A Covenant Marriage

Today, Brad and Maria describe their relationship as peaceful, purposeful, and Christ-centered. “We have tools to face challenges without chaos,” Brad shares. “We do things differently now because of what we learned from you and Linda.”

Maria smiles, “I feel free. Before, I was controlled by fear — fear about money, timing, and expectations. Now, I know if the foundation is in Christ, everything else can be worked through.”

After nearly two years of marriage, their bond keeps getting stronger. They’ve learned to keep the past in the past and move forward with the covenant God designed. They even use their experience to help other couples through Christian marriage counseling online and in person, sharing what they’ve learned about communication, trust, and intimacy.

And yes — they laugh often. “Bill and Linda showed us that healing doesn’t have to be heavy,” Brad says. “It can be full of humor and joy.”

Advice for Other Couples

When asked what they’d tell other couples considering Christian marriage counselors, Brad doesn’t hesitate. “You’ll never regret investing in your marriage. It’s work — but the results are worth it. If things aren’t working, do something different. Nothing changes if nothing changes.”

Maria adds, “Usually when you’re resisting something — that’s when you need it the most. Don’t let fear stop you. If you’ve never done something like this before, it’s time.”

Their story is living proof that even when life looks broken, restoration is possible. With the right marriage counseling techniques, faith, and heart-level commitment, couples can rebuild not only their relationship but their entire foundation.
