Marriage In America  Love Is Not The Only Reason For Marriage Real love, real commitment...is it lost? How can we know it’s real? Julian and Sandie have been in demand by church youth groups and young married couples with their heart-felt story on how God kept them together by personal and collective trial’s and struggles. Couples that have attended a sit down session with Julian & Sandie are raving about how it has changed their thinking to the importance and significance to “Dying to self”. The stories, examples, and analogies that both Julian and Sandie use have encouraged and strengthen their lives and even saved many marriages. Today, marriages are facing tough decisions regarding divorce and commitment. It’s amazing that so many people commit and quite something as important as marriage. It says a lot about the weak understanding and importance of God’s word in our everyday lives. Julian went from being a Road Manager to Talent Agent for one of the Nation’s largest dance and music agency to becoming a successful Fitness Trainer and Kick-boxing instructor in Hollywood, CA. After marriage, he changed directions to pursue success in corporate America. Over time, Julian grew bitter and blamed his wife and God that all he had accomplished in the entertainment world was lost due to his choice to save his marriage. Julian’s dysfunctional upbringing, alcoholism, and promiscuity pushed him over the edge with violence and depression. Sandie was a competitive gymnast who was training with the Olympic team. From traveling across the country to attending college, Sandie became delusions to stardom and fame. When she moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue an acting career she found that nothing was as it appeared; including marriage. Sandie’s dysfunctional up-bringing, drugs, bulimia, and the search for meaning in life all came to a head which almost killed her. Unlike other seminars, we believe that using practical application is more valuable than having head knowledge. After all, what good is it knowing how to be happy, if you don't have the understanding of what the definition of happiness is by God’s standards.  Instead of just knowing how to change, you will take action to improve your life. Instead of thinking about change, you will make it happen by turning your knowledge into instinct.  “If men would look at their wife and children as more important than themselves we would have more successful marriages within our country. I look at my wife and children as my real investment plan. That’s what matters to me when I retire” Julian Sado
