Meet Your Marriage Coaches
Edward & Maribell Rivera
Helping couples rebuild trust, restore connection, and thrive together through Christ-centered guidance.
We’ve been married for more than 33 years and raised five incredible children together. Like many couples, our journey has included seasons of joy, struggle, heartbreak, and healing. Through it all, we have experienced firsthand the restoring power of God’s grace in marriage — and we know what it takes to fight for it.
Over the years, we’ve pursued counseling, attended marriage intensives, and walked through restoration programs like Soul Care, Hope Restored, and AffairRecovery.com. What began as a personal journey of healing eventually became a calling to help other couples experience the same restoration.
One story that resonates deeply with us is Peter’s. After denying Jesus, he wept bitterly. Yet Jesus had already spoken hope over him:
“But I have prayed for you… and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:32)
We know what it’s like to fail and fall short in marriage — and to experience the mercy of a Savior who restores and redeems.
Now, just as Jesus called Peter to go back and strengthen his brothers, we believe God is calling us to do the same, to strengthen other marriages. To remind couples that failure isn’t final, and that through Christ, healing is always possible.
Today, we serve as marriage and individual coaches, not because we have all the answers, but because we’ve walked the road of restoration ourselves. Our mission is to help couples and individuals grow into the healthiest version of themselves — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.
And we would be honored to walk that journey with you.
Biblical Counseling for Real Life Struggles
We offer faith-based, biblical counseling rooted in the truth of God’s Word and the grace of the gospel. Whether you are facing marital conflict, personal struggles, or spiritual confusion, we provide a safe and compassionate place to pursue clarity, healing, and restoration.
Our approach combines scriptural wisdom with real-life experience, helping individuals and couples align their hearts and relationships with God’s design. You don’t have to walk through this alone.
You don’t need a perfect marriage to begin.
You only need the willingness to grow.
Our Story
“We want to help save struggling marriages by strengthening hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.”
Elevate & Thrive Together exists to strengthen marriages through Christ-centered growth, authenticity, and intentional connection. Founded by a couple who have walked through more than 33 years of both joy and deep struggle, this ministry was born from real experience, not perfection.
Through counseling, mentoring, and years of learning, we now serve as marriage coaches, helping couples move toward healing and wholeness. Our goal is to help couples grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally so they do not merely endure marriage but truly thrive together.
Who This Is For
This ministry is for couples who are:
• struggling with communication
• rebuilding trust after hurt or betrayal
• feeling emotionally distant
• wanting to strengthen an already good marriage
• seeking Christ centered guidance

“A Story of Hope
”When we came to counseling we barely spoke to each other without arguing. Through biblical guidance and honest conversations, we learned how to listen, forgive, and rebuild trust. Today our marriage is stronger than ever.”
