The goal is transformation–changing hearts so thoughts, attitudes and behaviors start to look different.
Jon speaks at a My Love Lasts seminar.
Reboot, which keeps the cost low.
Growing Love Network offers scholarships
to ensure funds are not a barrier
to any couple who wishes to participate.
Roughly half of those who
attend Love Reboot benefit from
financial assistance,
he says.
Registration is
still available
for June 28-30,
and August 2-4.
A marriage
intensive
provides
focused, concentrated
time.
Also, the
instruction and
structure address the issues that have
become obstacles in a marriage. Love
Reboot has even rekindled affection in
couples who have already divorced. Jon
recounts the situation of one such
couple—a couple inspired by their
14-year-old daughter—who attended
the intensive to improve family
communication skills. After Love
Reboot, they joined Jon’s follow-up
Growing Love course, and halfway
through, announced their plans to
remarry. And theirs is not an isolated
example. As word of the positive
results of Love Reboot has spread, Jon
has been receiving referrals from a
most unlikely source—divorce lawyers.
Led by the efforts of the San Antonio
Marriage Initiative, he intentionally
pursued a group of family and divorce
lawyers to inspire them to help identify
couples whose marriages had a chance
of being saved. Now they are referring
couples they think have hope to Jon.
“I just finished 10 sessions with one
couple who had filed for divorce and
looked like a hopeless case. We not
only saved their marriage—they have
since become donors to the ministry,”
he says.
Growing Love Ministries also offers
resources to help strengthen marriages.
Jon created a podcast, Relationship
Rewire, “where we talk about what’s
wrong and what’s right with marriage
and relationships in our world today.”
He was inspired by a colleague almost
three years ago to utilize podcasting to
expand the reach of his ministry.
Jon interviews nationally known
guests from various marriage ministries
like Tim Russo, Michael Smalley
and Julie Slattery. He also posts
excerpts from his own lectures. In
particular, he recommends a series of
four sessions from the
My Love Lasts retreat
he delivered last year as
a wealth of useful information.
“It helps people find
a starting point,” he
says. Currently,
Relationship Rewire
counts 1,600 downloads
daily for a total of
50,000 a month, he says.
Halfway
through the
course, they
announced
their plans
to remarry
each other.

“We try to prepare people for
marriage, support people to develop
healthy vibrant marriages and step

Jon says.
