Stacia and Lucas are a young married couple whose journey from college sweethearts to faith-driven spouses reflects the modern challenges and deep rewards of marriage. After meeting in 2012 at the University of Minnesota, they built their relationship in a culture that normalized cohabitation and independence over commitment. Initially living together for financial and practical reasons, they later experienced a spiritual awakening that reshaped their view of marriage, intimacy, and purpose.

Through pre-marital mentoring and the support of a faith-based community, Stacia and Lucas chose to prioritize their relationship with God and one another—leading to a strong, intentional marriage built on support, communication, and shared values. Now married for over six years with three children, they speak candidly about vulnerability, cultural pressures, the feminist movement, and the joy of growing together as partners.
