Stephen & Tiffany

After more than two decades of marriage, Stephen and Tiffany Saunders built Married On Purpose Collective around a conviction they've lived out personally: even a good marriage still needs intention, effort, and care. Tiffany brings a professional foundation to that conviction as a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Live On Purpose Therapy, where she has spent years walking alongside individuals and couples through communication, connection, and healing.

Their own path to a strong marriage wasn't a straight line. Stephen and Tiffany came together carrying different pasts, and building something lasting meant choosing forgiveness, humility, and continual growth over letting old wounds write the story. That perspective shapes how they lead every retreat, every coaching session, and every conversation.

Their first retreat, The Profound Mystery, set the tone: less a conference, more an experience — real conversation balanced with laughter, rest, and play. What began as one weekend has grown into an ongoing community of couples staying connected through retreats, gatherings, and marriage coaching year-round.

Stephen and Tiffany's heart behind it all is simple: you don't need a marriage in crisis to invest in it. You can grow, laugh, and keep choosing each other — on purpose.

What We Believe

The heart behind the mission

Eph. 5:21

Mutual Submission

Marriage isn't about winning. It's two people choosing to put each other first, on purpose, every day.

Eph. 5:25

Sacrificial Love

Love that lasts is a decision, not just a feeling — modeled after the love Christ has for the church.

Eph. 5:32

The Profound Mystery

We believe marriage reflects something bigger than the two people in it — a picture of covenant and grace.
