There are currently over 750,000 divorces in the United States each year. The chance of divorce in America has been slightly declining since the 1990s, but not by much. People are still struggling in their marriages, whether Christian or not. Unfortunately, many people still do not consider receiving counseling for their marital issues. Couples are desperately in need of a way to improve their relationship, but they often don’t know where to start.
Steve Dziedzic founded “Lasting,” a personalized marriage health plan app, to “help [couples] build and maintain the health of their marriage.” Couples can start by taking the online quiz on their website and eventually subscribe to Lasting’s online service. Lasting offers tools to help people in their communication skills, conflict skills, healthy habits, and relationship goals. Lasting is transforming the culture of broken relationships into a culture of repaired relationships.
Of course, the image of marriage can never truly be repaired without the true and perfect marriage: Christ and the God created marriage for good, but it was corrupted by sin. Church. Jesus came to Earth to redeem the broken and went to the cross on our behalf. Because of Jesus’ death on the cross, all our sins (infidelity, abuse, lust, pride, hate, etc.) can be washed clean and through His resurrection, we can have new life. Anyone who commits their life to Jesus can have a restored and redeemed marriage, through the blood of Christ.

The importance of marriage, especially healthy marriages within the church, cannot be ignored. I definitely agree there is a marriage crisis due to our sinful nature. Is Steve Dziedzic a believer? What caused him to create this app? How long has it been around? I have never heard of Lasting and will have to look it up and see what the resources are all about.
The divorce rate in the United States is high and should be acknowledged by the Church. There is clearly a gap in this crisis and it's encouraging to see entrepreneurs create ways to help solve this problem. An app is an interesting way that I think could be helpful among a digitalized society, especially if more and more couples don't consider going to counseling. This app is an easier way to address this problem in a way that accommodates people better rather than going to an in-person counselor.
I think this is such an awesome business idea! It is really cool to see the passion that they have for a strong marriage! It's really cool to see the creativity and innovation that they clearly show by making an app like this! This is a great example of redemption and the way it can be used to bring marriage back together!
