Celebrating Long-Lasting Partnerships

Claire McCollum is in London to celebrate long-lasting partnerships with their many joys and challenges, and the commitment in Christ that sustains them.

Claire McCollum is in south London to celebrate long-lasting partnerships with their many joys and challenges, and the commitment in Christ that sustains them.

Claire joins the Rev Les Isaac, the founder of Christian volunteer movement Street Pastors, and his wife Louise at their home near Crystal Palace, to learn how they offer faith-based support to couples navigating the challenges of cross-cultural relationships.

Claire then meets Claire and Steve Musters at their church in Sutton to explore how faith sustained their marriage through its darkest times, and how they are using their experience to bring hope and healing to others.

We also visit the stunning Ushaw Historic House in County Durham, where bridal tailor Kevin Thornhill has put on an exhibition that celebrates 150 years of wedding dresses.

With hymns that celebrate love for our partners and God.
