When we first welcomed Chris and Karla Hines to The Redeemed Man two years ago, Chris, a former pastor and businessman, had just founded the Marriage in Focus ministry in Auburn, Alabama. Since then, Marriage in Focus has grown by leaps and bounds, Karla has joined the ministry full time—and they’ve celebrated 30 years of marriage. Chris and Karla talk with Nate Dewberry this week about what they’ve learned from guiding dozens of marriage retreats and what they share with those couples about communicating openly, “fighting fairly,” encouraging vulnerability—and keeping God at the center of it all.
