Dr. Gladden, Thank you a thousand times over for helping me to see that I was not reflecting the nature and character of Jesus (and certainly not even a good husband and father) to my wife and children. Thank you for helping me to not only save my marriage but to be the example that I’ve never had. Thank you for helping me to understand priorities and balance. Thank you for who you are and what you do.

Dr. Gladden, my favorite teacher of life. I remember when my wife “dragged” me to see you after she met you. At the time, I was struggling with anger that consumed me and everyone around me and didn’t even know it. I had justification for my bad behavior and as a result was unwilling to change. You confronted me in a way that I was not accustomed to before. You were strong and compassionate at the same time, and refused to allow me to believe my lies by shattering them with truth. You have taught me so many life lessons and I thank you for not giving up on me, even when I told you to.

I attended your Empowering Your Faith seminar at Lakeview Church and wanted to share with you Dr. Gladden, that the revelation you shared with my husband and I about faith will forever impact our lives. As a result, we made the decision as a family to live a life of faith and by faith thank you.

Dr. Gladden, I just have to tell you that you should think about having more Empowering Your Faith seminars like the one you just had. People cannot hear these revelations enough, they are life changing.

Dr. Marie, I would like to personally thank you for your book, “Inspiration Connection: Empowering Your Faith”  because it did just that, empower my faith. I was able to hear your voice in the words of your book and it strengthened my soul. May God richly bless you and your beautiful family.

Dr. Marie, When I first came to your office, I did not really believe that you would be able to help me to stop contemplating taking my own life. I was in so much pain that I could not imagine life being anything different than painful. Then you started speaking and making me believe what I was not able to believe on my own. You helped me to see that I was not responsible for what happened to me and helped me to find purpose in my pain. Your book, “Identity Crisis: Who Am I” absolutely changed my life and I will never be the same again.

Dr. Gladden, I could not put down your book, “Do It AGain: Infinite Chances for a Do Over”. I spent so many years beating myself and others for the things of the past and you helped me see through your book that we may not be able to change the past but we can let the past change us for the better.

Dr. Marie, your Divorce Free Marriage Seminar really woke me up. I did not know that marriages could be divorce free considering the divorce rate. But you helped me rethink and develop a vision for my house to make sure that we have a divorce free marriage.

Hello Dr. Marie. I wanted to update you on my relationship with my dad. After the intervention you helped our family navigate, my father for the first time in 52 years told me that he loves me. I cannot explain to you how much I needed to hear that but didn’t know how to express it. You always told me that words not only have power but they are power…I finally understand.

Greetings Dr. Marie. I just wanted to let you know that you have completely changed my life, there’s no other way to say it. I am amazed at the way you are able to speak to the heart as well as the head. You helped me see that I am enough, but most importantly, that I matter. I was so focused on what others thought about me that I lost sight of me. Thank you for helping me to see.

Dr. Marie, I will never be able to thank you enough for helping me to find my inner strength to be able to walk away from the physical abuse I’ve experienced in my marriage. You helped me to see that Jesus loves me through the love and compassion that you’ve shown me when everyone else walked away from me. I am eternally grateful to God for bringing you into my life.

I thank you for the invitation to your Divorce Free Seminar. Dr. Marie, honestly it was just what my husband and I needed at just the right time because we made the decision to call it quits and your seminar was our final attempt to reconcile. After hearing you speak, we made the decision to stand for our marriage and it is the best decision we ever made. Bless you.

Dr. Gladden, my mom said that it would be ok to write to you. I thank you for helping me to deal with the bullies at school. I now understand that those bullies picked on me because of their own insecurities, and it’s not about me. I hope to one day do what you do and help other kids like me stand up to the bullies in their lives.

Dr. Marie, my husband and I would like to send our sincerest appreciation for all that you have done for us and our children. We have been praying for years for someone like you to come into our lives. After visiting 8 different therapists, you are the one we needed. Not only are you our therapist, you are our teacher, our friend, and most importantly, our angel. We cannot stop talking about you to our family and friends. You will forever be a part of our lives and we appreciate you.

Bless you Dr. Marie for restoring our family. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for not only your commitment to families but for the loving and impactful ways that you reach families. You have not only restored my hope in myself but you’ve restored my hope in humanity.

Dr, Marie, I just had to share with you the impact you have had on not only my life, but those around me who are experiencing the harvest of your labor in my life. Thank you for your consistency, love, and genuine compassion. It’s so rare to meet people who are genuine these days. Not only are you genuine but the love of God flows through you in such a way that it flows through you to others. I thought all therapists were grumpy and serious but you shattered that by being comforting, sweet, friendly, and smart at the same time. God needs to send us more Dr. Marie’s we need them.
