Ministry Spotlight 

The marriage ministry was born out of pain through Minister Peter and Ettalee Barrett about 15 years ago.  Every scar, every painful page in their story, has now become part of someone else’s healing over the years of this ministry.

Their wounds have now become testimonies. Their  brokenness has now become a doorway to someone else's breakthrough.

As leaders of this ministry, they hold firmly to Ecclesiastes 4vs12 "And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." With this truth at the center of their hearts, they are humbled and honored to serve you, Ocean of Love Marriage Ministry.

We pray that this ministry will be a lifeline to someone who is still drowning.  “The Marriage Ministry is designed to strengthen, encourage, and equip married couples, to build Christ-centered, healthy, and thriving relationships. We believe that strong marriages build strong families, and strong families build a strong church.”

Why This Ministry Matters

“In today’s world, marriage is under constant pressure. Between busy schedules, financial stress, parenting responsibilities, and everyday challenges, couples need intentional support and spiritual covering.

Our goal is not just to help couples stay married — but to help them flourish.”

What We Do

“Through workshops, retreats, seminars, date nights, one and one counseling, open discussions, and biblical teaching, we create safe spaces for couples to grow together emotionally, spiritually, and practically

• We address topics such as:

• Communication

• Conflict resolution

• Intimacy and connection

• Financial unity

• Spiritual leadership in the home”

Our Testimony

“One of the most rewarding parts of this ministry is seeing couples reconnect, rediscover joy, and learn how to support rather than compete with one another. We have witnessed healing conversations, renewed commitment, and deeper prayer lives among couples who choose to invest in their marriage.”

“If you are married, we invite you to become part of the Marriage Ministry. You do not have to be perfect — you simply have to be willing to grow.  Marriage is a journey, and no couple should walk it alone. Don't die in silence. We would love for you to join us as we build stronger marriages together.”

Thank you for taking a moment to learn about the Marriage Ministry. We look forward to growing with you and serving you here at Victory Lighthouse Center.

God bless you.
