Meet James & Teri

Experts with real experience.

Before acquiring accreditations and certifications, and before helping thousands of couples walk through all sorts of crises ranging from infidelity to horrible in-laws, James & Teri had their own really difficult story as a family.

It all started with an implosion and we had to make a choice.

We had to choose between two options. We could choose to accept the brokenness in front of us and move on – away from one another. Or we could choose to build something new – something more like the relationship we both wanted deep down.

We desperately wanted to find a way to stay together. We chose to rebuild. But we didn't know how to build our dream marriage.

It took others coming alongside us (and years of work) for our marriage to make it.

And we did more than survive --we discovered our dream marriage. It took years of work but we became two healthy people.

Teri Craft

CO-FOUNDER, MARRIAGE HEALTH
To be honest, I’ve always loved people. And relationships. And learning about what makes relationships healthy. My friends know me as attentive, compassionate, and easy going. My kids know me as present, patient, and adventurous. And James knows me as …well, he knows all of me. Even when our world crumbled as infidelity was exposed in our marriage, through my overwhelming grief, I remained anchored to hope and optimism. Maybe it’s my conviction that there’s good to be found in every situation or my unrelenting belief that the truth sets us free, but the cracks in our relationship fueled my fervor towards a truly healthy marriage. Honestly, it felt like an invitation to rebuild something authentic and vibrant, and I was all for that. Of course, there was a lot of grief. And I had to learn to be present to the hard stuff and let others hold my pain with me. But in the end, it was hope that kept me moving. And it’s hope that compels me to come-alongside others in their own journeys.

James Craft

CO-FOUNDER, MARRIAGE HEALTH
When I care about something, I go ALL IN. And while I’ve learned to reign in my intensity as needed, the truth is that I’m a passionate person. I always have been. When I was pastoring a large church, I was all-in on the growth of our people. When I married Teri and we had kids, I was all-in on being the kind of dad I always longed for. And when my addiction and betrayal was exposed, I went all-in on my recovery and our restoration. I don’t know any other way. And I’ve discovered that this bent towards all-in-ness positions me well to come alongside others as they navigate valleys and pursue health for themselves and their relationships. When my addiction came to light, I got to experience freedom. And now I’m all-in on mobilizing that freedom alongside others – and that includes you.
