Is your marriage hanging by a thread? Do you question if marriage restoration is possible after a devastating betrayal? In this deeply personal episode of Relationship Radio, we welcome Chris and Karista Stutzman. Their marriage restoration testimony is a powerful reminder that hope and healing exist, even in the most challenging circumstances.


Chris and Karista candidly share their struggles with infidelity, limerence, and the breakdown of communication that nearly led to divorce. They found themselves on a  path of despair, unsure if their marriage could be saved.


Their journey to restoration led them to Marriage Helper.  Through workshops, coaching, and the guidance of the team, Chris and Karista gained invaluable tools and insights. They learned how to:


  • Rebuild trust after infidelity
  • Develop effective communication skills
  • Understand the underlying patterns contributing to their relationship difficulties
  • Process the emotional wounds of betrayal
  • Find support and community with others facing similar challenges


This episode explores the transformative power of Marriage Helper. You'll learn how its resources provided Chris and Karista with a roadmap for healing their marriage and building a stronger, more resilient relationship.


If you feel lost or hopeless about your own marriage, let Chris and Karista's story ignite a spark of hope.  Their journey demonstrates that restoration is possible, and Marriage Helper can be a vital catalyst for change.


Relationship Radio is hosted by CEO of Marriage Helper, Kimberly Beam Holmes, and founder of Marriage Helper, Dr. Joe Beam.
