About Us
Hosts / Guest Speakers - Jeff & Michelle Collins
Jeff & Michelle lead a multimillion dollar Real Estate team in Houston/Katy Texas. They have been married for over 11 years and this is their 2nd and last marriage. Like many modern couples with a blended family they have had to navigate through the challenges this brings.
Another exciting evolution in their marriage happened when Jeff joined Michelle as her business partner. This was also where they faced some of the hardest obstacles they have ever faced. Two strong personalities with two different visions of how to reach a common goal can cause extreme conflict. For Jeff & Michelle, putting themselves out in front of others and having a passion to serve has been a saving grace. Facilitating marriage classes, going to marriage conferences, retreats and generally pouring into their marriage is their passion. The Dream Marriage Retreat is the idea that was created from this passion and realizing the incredible need for couples to experience an adults only retreat focused on marriage.
Here’s to recapturing how you felt when you were first dating, Cheers!
Guest Speakers - Clayton & Ashlee Hurst
Clayton and Ashlee have been married for over 25 years and have 3 children. They have been on staff at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas since 2004 where they currently serve as the Marriage Pastors. For many years Clayton and Ashlee struggled in their marriage, not understanding how to have a successful union the way God intended. As they began to work on their marriage by focusing on how to love and communicate with each other more effectively, their relationship became stronger.
Clayton and Ashlee don’t have a perfect marriage but today they have a strong marriage and a passion to help others. At Lakewood Church, they lead pre-marriage and marriage classes, marriage life groups, and marriage retreats that have hundreds of couples participating regularly. In 2016, they began hosting Lakewood’s Spark Marriage Conference which has had hundreds of thousands of couples watch online or come from around the world to attend. They are also the authors of a marriage book called Hope For Your Marriage.
