SPICES
WHAT IS SPICES?
SPICES Inc. is a Christian peer-run support community of regular people in imperfect marriages. What brings us together is that we are TOTALLY committed to giving our best to make our marriages work. We believe that there are six pillars that all marriages are built on and on which they crumble if not properly managed: Sex, people-relationships, individuality, communication, economic stability, and spirituality. Using lessons from scripture and practical lessons from daily life, we dismantle barriers that hinder Christians from experiencing marriage as God intended it. Our goal is to learn from each other and to encourage each other by studying these six pillars of marriage through a Bible-informed lens. We are a 501c3 registered nonprofit organization.

Prov 27:17
