Be sure to read my article “I Don’t Belong in this Mess” as it tells a part of my 19 year addiction story.
Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Chris Benton, a passionate advocate for inspired marriages and a devoted husband and father. My wife, Sandy, and I have been married for over 22 years, and our journey has shaped not only our lives but also the vision for our marriage ministry, Inspired Marriage.
Our story began in a rather unconventional way on February 2, 2002, when I discovered Sandy on a Christian singles site. Despite never having met in person, we set a wedding date just weeks later. Some may call us crazy, but it was a leap of faith that has led us to a beautiful life together. We believe that true love is built on passion, love, and purpose—a philosophy that informs everything we do.
In 2001, during a challenging period in my life, I launched Inspiration 4 Everyone, a website dedicated to motivational quotes. This project unexpectedly opened doors to connecting with people and eventually led me to Sandy. Our marriage has always been rooted in open communication and mutual support, and we cherish the deep bond we share. Together, we enjoy day trips, attending marriage conferences, and exploring new ways to keep our love alive.
Through Inspired Marriage, we aim to empower couples to strengthen their relationships and navigate life’s challenges together.
This (Chris Benton) website will serve as a hub for the broader mission, featuring insightful content on Spiritual and Personal growth. Expect to find resources like articles, podcasts, and updates on upcoming conferences designed to inspire and equip people on their journey together.
We’re excited to share our journey and create a supportive community for couples who want to cultivate a thriving relationship. Join us as we explore what it means to live an inspired marriage, and let’s embark on this journey together
