Steps To A Good Marriage
Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Putting our families first is easier said than done. We can simply become unintentional when it comes to nurturing these relationships that will matter for eternity.

Mark Merrill helps us to see what it looks like when men are investing well into their families. Mark is our guest on Man2Man Express and will be our Keynote Speaker for the Albany, New York Iron Sharpens Iron on April 2nd!

Mark Merrill is the founder and president of Family First, a widely respected national non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the family.  Family First promotes principles for building marriages and raising children through three successful programs. All Pro Dad helps men become better fathers through NFL seminars, school-based All Pro Dad's Days, and AllProDad.com. Its newest initiative, iMOM, and resource rich website, iMOM.com, provide mothers of all ages with information, ideas and encouragement to help them grow wise, healthy, purpose-minded, relationally-focused children.

Before founding Family First in 1991, Mark practiced law in Florida for seven years. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree as a Phi Beta Kappa in 1981 and his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Florida.

Mark, his wife Susan, and their five teenage children -- Megan, Emily, Hannah Grace, Mark, Jr. and Grant -- live in Tampa.
