OUR MISSION

Through the Married 4 Life Walk, the organization’s purpose is to build healthier families in our communities. We do this by helping married couples strengthen their bond and by promoting the importance of professional coaching and counseling. These tools help rekindle the flame of love and make divorce no longer the default option.

In addition, the Married 4 Life Walk provides committed, like-minded couples with education, inspiration, resources, and support. As a result, couples are better equipped to overcome marital challenges and stay the course on their marriage journey.

The Healing Hearts Healing Homes Foundation engages married couples across the community through meaningful activities. These activities promote and reinforce the principle of “Walking in Unity,” which reflects love, trust, commitment, teamwork, purpose, legacy, and faith in God.

Ultimately, the goal is for couples to embrace and apply this principle in their daily lives. When they do, it strengthens their marriages and builds stronger families. We fulfill this mission by leading marriage-centered activities that bring this principle to life, such as the Marriage Walk.

Understanding The Need

Coach Martez Layton, founder and visionary of the Married 4 Life Walk, faced a season where he and his wife Woodrina were fighting for their marriage and family.

As a man of faith, Martez felt led to take a simple step—to hold Woodrina’s hand each day and walk and talk with her.

Those simple walks strengthened their marriage and helped them overcome infidelity.

As a result, both Martez and Dr. Woodrina witnessed the power of intentional time together and the bond it creates.

Marriage is the foundation of the family, and families are the backbone of every community. Regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, or financial status, strong and healthy marriages make a real difference.

There are many proven benefits for children raised in stable homes. Strong marriages help reduce poverty, crime, and failing grades in school. In addition, they support better physical and mental health.

The Married 4 Life Walk brings couples from all backgrounds and faiths together in one community. The Unity Walk is a two-mile experience designed for all ages. Completing the walk represents finishing strong together as a unit.

Today, many marriages in America are facing serious challenges. However, Healing Hearts Healing Homes is committed to reducing divorce rates and strengthening lasting relationships. This unity walk can be the spark that encourages couples to stay committed and keep fighting for their marriage.
