Who Are We?

Matthew and Monica Powers

We shouldn’t still be married, shouldn’t possibly be alive, and definitely shouldn’t be sharing this story…

Life for us was so great through high school (starting dating in 1999) and the first year of college, but then we spiraled out of control spiritually, emotionally, and in our relationship. We both knew the love of God and got baptized together in 2003. Sadly the moment we couldn’t go home every Sunday in college for church, pulled us away from our relationship with God. The distance from our families and church quickly started to outwardly show. Our relationship together was full of lies, deceit, manipulation, and constantly hurting each other purposely.
