Our Founders

                                                                                                                 

Hi, we’re Al & Leticia Perez.  We’re just an ordinary couple with an extraordinary God who’s done some amazing things in our lives.  One thing He did after He healed our broken marriage in the late 90’s is that He gave us a burning desire to help other couples live out the incredible marriage God intended when He brought us together.  For years, we’ve put ourselves in a position to learn from God’s Word and mentors what really makes a marriage thrive.  We literally would walk up to older couples we saw were radically in love and ask them to mentor & teach us.  Today, we enjoy a teenager’s love we never could have imagined when we walked down the aisle in 1986. 

That was the decision we made during the darkest year of our marriage. The year was 1994, and we had reached the “fight or flight” crossroads. As difficult as it was, we chose to fight for our marriage. We didn’t know how things would get better but we vowed to keep working at it, get counseling and not give up. Over the next few years, God healed our marriage and gave us hope for our future. Never did we think that 10 years later He would start using us to mentor, counsel, and speak into the lives of other couples like He has. Now 20 years later, God has given us the huge vision for MarriageWell: to give marriages–new, old, and yet to be–the tools to flourish and grow. We aim to honor marriage and be a deep well of resources for couples. Just like any great marriage, the story of MarriageWell has many chapters to come, but our hope and prayer is that they hold many tales of redemption, grace, and love for couples across Ventura County and beyond.  

We hope you’ll join us on the journey to change the culture of marriage.
