Keep your marriage in sync.
No one can claim to have the perfect marriage—we certainly don’t.
But we can claim to strive daily to walk closely with God to have a marriage that’s not perfect, but God-glorifying.
Hey there! We're Team Hernandez
“Team Hernandez” is a term we use to describe our marriage and family. The word “team” has significance because God has given both the husband and the wife specific roles in a marriage which makes us a team in the greatest sense, much like riding in tandem. We have served as missionaries with FamilyLife, a division of Cru since 1999. We both grew up in broken homes and are the youngest of three siblings. At the age of 5, we both witnessed our fathers leave their wives for another woman. Our families were shattered. We both dealt with feelings of abandonment and internal scars that made us believe that there was something wrong with us. What was it that forced our fathers to abandon us? Were we to blame? Those pains were evident in us both and healing was needed. Over time the power of God’s word healed us in ways we never thought were possible.
We started dating as teens and when we married we set out to use the pain of our past to fuel some of the passions we had for our future. We were doing things wrong. We had our roles confused. With my feet on the handlebars, Teresa was doing most of the pedaling in our marriage, like the cute photo on the back of our RV.
In reality the photo is a reminder of marriage the wrong way. We attended our first Weekend to Remember marriage conference sponsored by FamilyLife and I was met with a strong challenge to lead, as a servant leader. It was a foriegn concept to me because without a father in our home I had no role model. I’m happy to report (and so is my wife) that the picture of our marriage was forever changed by the Weekend to Remember.
The FamilyLife Weekend to Remember set our marriage on a course that led us to join staff as missionaries. FamilyLife is about helping you pursue the relationships that matter most. FamilyLife exists to help families grow together and impact their corner of the world. And our mission is to effectively develop godly families who change the world one home at a time. Our vision is that every home would be a godly home.
