Marriage is the formation of a household. A little world, with its own order, its own rituals, its own story.
A generation that can't build one is a generation with nowhere that's truly home.
If you are a parent wanting your kids to follow you in the faith...
Invest in having a healthy relationship with them!
According to new @FamStudies@WeAreCommunio research, children with very good relationships with both parents had...

Want your kids to pray as adults? Start praying with them today.
"Parents who prayed every day had a 47% chance of raising children who maintained a regular prayer life in adulthood, compared to less than one-third among parents who did not pray daily."

Mom and Dad staying together matters for kids embracing the faith as adults. BOTH of you having strong relationships with your kids impacts their future faith practice. "Children who report a strong relationship with both parents are 97% more likely to believe in God as adults than those with weaker parental relationships." - @MinistryWatch@Jpdegance

“Faith isn’t something kids are going to get from the culture. Our study shows that parents are the most important figures for their children's spiritual formation." -@jessesmithsoc@FamStudies@Jpdegance
We’re setting up young couples to believe they must wait until everything is perfect. But budget-busting weddings create an expectation of a perfect life, writes @Jpdegance.

Parents who worry about “pushing religion too hard,” take note:
Kids whose parents talked openly about faith several times a week were twice as likely to attend church, pray regularly, and say religion is important as adults, per our new report with @WeAreCommunio
.@FoxNews reports on the new @FamStudies report with @WeAreCommunio
"The study found that parents who regularly attend church, pray daily, talk about their faith with their children, and build strong family bonds are significantly more likely to raise children who remain faithful into adulthood."

New study @WeAreCommunio & @FamStudies: the family is a primary engine of faith transmission:
✔️fully 41% of kids who attend church w BOTH parents grow up to be weekly churchgoers
✔️just 29% when only one parent attends
When both parents pray, read scripture, talk about faith at home, children are far more likely to carry that faith into adulthood. The home, not just the church, is often where faith is formed or lost. đź§µ
The storming of @citieschurch was hardly "peaceful" as the city claims. Government officials have the duty of "punishing the wrongdoer." "...mob behavior does not erase the God-given rights of law-abiding people to worship in peace." -@jpdegancetownhall.com/columnists/jp-d…
The city of Saint Paul has officially determined the January 18 invasion of our church and the desecration of our worship to be a “peaceful protest.”
Here’s my question for Mayor Her:
"Communio said 74% of married individuals who had been struggling within their marriages reported being very satisfied or better after engaging in the organization’s Growth Journey as instructed by their member churches." dailycaller.com/2026/06/01/f…
One generation of Christian marriage well lived with change the world. @Communio is serving the local church to bring that about. Great time with @JosHershberger on The Good Citizen Podcast. Onwards!

The median age of first marriage in America is now 30.8 for men and 28.8 for women. In 1975, it was 23 and 21. Here's a culprit no one's talking about.
A backyard wedding isn't a lesser wedding. A church ceremony followed by a modest reception isn't settling. Starting married life with savings intact isn't unromantic. What's unromantic is a $33,000 loan at 12.65% APR before the honeymoon.
Parents and pastors need to be part of this conversation — not just preparing couples for marriage, but helping remove the barriers keeping them from it. Read the full op-ed in @WSJ today from @Jpdegance: wsj.com/opinion/free-express…
