Your Marriage Matters To Us

Nothing is more important to the team at DGR than helping couples model the servanthood of Jesus. For over 15 years, we’ve helped 800+ couples learn a different way— Jesus’ way—and it’s life changing.

 

Toward Jesus, Together

A great marriage takes consistent time, affection, respect, prayer, and commitment. Don’t let your marriage quietly erode. You deserve a vibrant and healthy relationship. It’ll change your life.

Our History

Developing Great Relationships (DGR) first launched in 2009 when our founder, Stan Vermeer, acted upon his passion to help Christian marriages thrive. Ever since, DGR has helped couples rekindle their love for Christ and one another through Bible-based seminars. We are located in the historic Strawtown Inn of Pella, IA, where guests enjoy its old-world charm alongside the cheerful service of our team.
