Willie & Cindy Batson speaking at one of the early Stronger Together workshops.

A chronic illness or long-term disability can be challenging to a marriage, even when two people have been deeply in love for decades. This online series will show you how loving your spouse in a chronic illness marriage can lead to new growth in your relationship. You will learn how you can handle the strong emotions that can invade your marriage, work together as a team in living out your marriage vows in sickness and in health, and refocus on what really matters in your marriage.

Having been his wife’s care-partner during her 27-year battle with a chronic illness, Willie Batson will lead this seminar from a perspective that communicates understanding and compassion.

This unique marriage enrichment series was live-streamed over four Tuesday evenings in 2020. The videos are presented below.

• “How to Thrive in a Chronic Illness Marriage”
• “Courage & Hope in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s” – with special guest, Dr. Cynthia Fantasia, author of “In the Lingering Light.”
• “Facing the Challenges of a Chronic Illness Marriage” – with special guests, Mike & Donna Bassett, who at the time were navigating marital challenges after Donna’s cancer diagnosis seven years prior.
• “Three Things You Must Do”
