Your Marriage Matters To Us

Nothing is more important to the team at DGR than helping couples develop a great relationship that models Jesus. We want to reduce Iowa’s divorce rate and see marriages find deep, lasting love.

 

Does Your Marriage Feel Hopeless?

No matter the crisis, conflict, or broken trust; if you’re committed to change you can build a love that lasts.

Our History

Developing Great Relationships (DGR) first launched in 2009 when our founder, Stan Vermeer, acted upon his passion to help Christian marriages thrive. Over the years we realized some couples need deeper healing. After 1700 hours of research, Marriage Love Restored was born, offering powerful hope and healing to couples who feel stuck.
