REVIEWS
“We have known Gary and Gail Marten for well over 35 years and have benefited greatly from their spiritual guidance. They are compassionate and encouraging mentors, constantly seeking God’s will for how they can best use their individual gifts to serve Him and His people in new and relevant ways. We’ve witnessed and experienced how they take the seed of an idea, planted by God in their hearts, and seek His direction to bring the vision to life. It’s totally on brand for them to focus their latest work on resetting joy, because finding the joy of the Lord in relationships--with your spouse, your family, your church--is at the heart of everything they do.”

"Kelly and I are so excited to introduce to you our friends and co-laborers in Christ, Gary and Gail Marten. It has been our honor to be their pastors for the last 12 years and we can say without hesitation, they are one of the most genuine, dynamic couples we have ever known. Their passionate love for Jesus and His Church fuels their vision and devotion. They’ve built their house—three adult daughters and their families— on the Rock and the fruit of their commitment to God’s Word and their covenant with each other is the greatest joy and testimony of their lives! Gary serves on the Board of Deacons of The Assembly at Broken Arrow and he and Gail have taught various topics in group life, including Healthy Marriages and Joy in Parenting. They pour into couples and families and freely share what they’ve learned and implemented in a way that always has tremendous impact! Having served on pastoral teams, they have a unique vantage point of ministry in both leadership and laity and carry a God-given passion to minister to those who minister. Kelly and I are filled with faith and expectancy for how God will use them to refresh, inspire and encourage you!"

"Gary and Gail Marten are gifts to the Body of Christ! I've had the privilege to participate in 2 of their courses - Marriage and Parenting - and I have been encouraged, inspired, and equipped to effectively live out my calling as a wife and a mom. They deliver helpful content in a fun, organized, and intentional way. They connect well with their audience and make themselves available for questions and feedback. Most of all, Gary and Gail are authentic in how they present their message, as they truly live what they preach. They have a genuine heart to serve God's Kingdom and to help others experience the blessing of living life God's way."

"My husband and I have attended both of the classes Gail and Gary Marten have taught "Joy in Parenting" and "Joyful Marriage". We were so blessed by these classes! It is nice to see that no one is alone in the struggles and challenges we have within each of our family units. We learned many necessary skills to become better parents as well as a better spouse to each other. I would highly recommend attending these classes to ANYONE in EVERY stage of marriage and the family, including those that are planning to get married and have a family one day. I plan to go through these courses again if they are offered at church. Thank you Gail and Gary!!!"

"I love how Gary and Gail teach their marriage course—with timeless spiritual wisdom, plenty of practical advice, and seasoned humor, love and grace. They share from Scripture, top-notch resources, and their own lifetime experience as a Christian couple. And it’s obvious they know what they’re talking about! As a recently remarried widow, I was able to apply everything I learned in their talks to my new marriage. I highly recommend their course to all couples."

"Gary and Gail Marten have been a wealth of knowledge and wisdom for me personally and for our family. Every time I sit under their teaching, I leave refreshed and equipped. I can't say enough great things about their Godly example as parents and as a married couple. They are truly gifts to this world, and I'm so thankful our paths crossed."
-Leslie
"My husband and I had the privilege to attend a marriage class led by Gary and Gail Marten. At the time we were separated, but we continued to seek multiple resources to strengthen areas of weakness as God was healing and restoring our marriage. This class, led by the Marten’s, helped us strengthen our communication and reminded us of the importance of not only speaking our needs but also listening and hearing our spouses' needs. They also instilled in us that it doesn’t matter who is “right” in the moment because it’s about remaining in God’s will for your family. They teach from both wisdom and a foundation all leading back to the Bible."
