Nancy and Ron,come from two very different walks of life. Ron is from a family of six children and Nancy was raised as an only child. Ron was unwanted—an inconvenience in his family, whereas Nancy was cherished. Both however, were wounded in the early character-forming years and suffered the consequences of those painful experiences. They honestly believed that theirs was a “match made in heaven,” but they say, “The day we married, we lit an inferno that nearly destroyed us and our daughters as well.” Fortunately sheer determination to make the marriage work sent them back to school for degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy. It was during that experience- an acquisition of knowledge- that they began to investigate and understand that their beginnings had set up the marital challenges that nearly ended their marriage. Thus began their journey to wholeness. Karan and Ericmet each other at a time when both were desperate for change. Karan had been married and was the mother of a son and daughter. Eric was somewhat younger than her; longing for love and acceptance. Each had addictions that were not serving them well, and their relationship became another of those addictions, designed to meet deep emotional needs. Early on, their relationship became a nightmare. Heated arguments became the norm for most days, complicated by alcohol, drugs and personal histories of dysfunction. Pressed by their misery, they attended a Binding the Wounds Seminar, and then another and another. When a 7-Day Intensive Seminar was announced, they signed up for that too, and it was there that major positive change began to take place. Their excitement led them to start facilitating recovery groups.Regina and Rey:Regina was the fatherless daughter of an alcoholic mother, while Ray was the chosen and beloved son of an overly protective mother and emotionally absent father. These histories combined set them up to have marital misunderstandings and power struggles.Having waded through the mud of their beginnings through Binding the Wounds and an intensive EIDO experience, this professional team (clergyman and physician) now teach from experienced and acquired knowledge.
