- "I enthusiastically recommend Rodger and Janet Sauls to your church or your group/retreat ! Rodger and Janet have conducted the "Marriage on the Rock" seminars and group studies here at Salem on several occasions. It is awesome to see how God has worked through them, and to see how the couples respond to them and respond to each other. Whether you are targeting long-time "marrieds" for enrichment, or newlyweds, or even "soon to be wed" couples this will be a spiritual growth experience they will never forget!"
Dr. Jeff Beckett, Senior Pastor, Salem Baptist Church, Apex, NC
- "All married couples, no matter their ages or how many years married, can benefit from Rodger and Janet's marriage enrichment facilitation. We have been married 23 years as of April 2008, (second marriage for us both). When we married, we had three kids in college and a senior in high school. During our premarital counseling with the minister who married us, he felt the only problems we might encounter would be our children. We were convinced this would not be an issue because we both considered the kids almost grown and out of the home. We thought, what problems could they possibly cause us to have? Twenty-three years and seventeen grandchildren later, we would have given anything to have had a class like this to help us through those troubled times......and we do mean troubled times! We took our class in 2007, and even with grown kids and lots of grandchildren, it still had a great deal of insight and Biblical guidance for our marriage. We found ourselves eagerly looking forward to our weekly classes and the insight we gained from sharing with other couples on each topic. If God leads you to take one of Rodger and Janet's classes, make the most of it, as it brought us closer together, even as an older married couple."

- " When Dionne first approached me about premarital counseling, I was a bit apprehensive. But after we met Rodger and Janet and saw their desire and commitment toward helping us understand one another and learn to properly respect and value each other, I know now that we would have been at a serious disadvantage without their help. Seeking counseling from Rodger and Janet is one of the best and most significant things we have done together. As a couple, we are not always going to agree, but we are learning to disagree without being disagreeable. Rodger and Janet have really helped us understand one another and have been a pivotal part of the start of our lives together."

- "We highly recommend the "Marriage on the Rock" course! Rodger and Janet have a gift, and we feel blessed that Rodger listened to God's calling, and together they share their trials and successes in their marriage to help others. Mickey and I took this class after four years of marriage, and even as short-timers, we gained so much from the sound Biblical teaching. We only wish we could have taken the course earlier in our marriage. Even if you are not having any issues, this course reveals ways for both husbands and wives to love each other more completely and to put Christ as the head of the family."

- "We have been married for 15 years and have two small children. As blessed as we feel we are in our marriage, we certainly face difficulties. Who doesn't? One of our main problems has always been prioritizing. Today's world keep us all very busy. One week quickly spills into the next, and before you realize, you've missed out on a lot of opportunities to spend together. There always seems to be one more thing you need to do-- there will always be one more thing. We vowed to begin putting our marriage first. We enrolled in the "Marriage on the Rock" course offered by Rodger and Janet. This was the first class we took as a couple in our marriage. We were incredibly blessed and strengthened by the assignments and class discussions. Marriage is hard work! What a sweet victory that we can hand our marriage over to God. He is truly the only One that can lead us. With His urging, we are able to work on the weaker areas of our relationship and relish the stronger ones. We enjoyed Rodger and Janet's class so much that we have since enrolled in a Sunday School class together and are able to remain strong in the Word. Rodger and Janet are a great example of how God equips you for any task in which you are called. Their humble approach to facilitating left the class feeling comfortable and willing to truly open up and experience a Spirit-filled forum."

- "I heard Janet speak about their marriage ministry at a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting at Salem Baptist Church and was immediately intrigued by her enthusiasm. My husband and I are both Catholics and were a little hesitant on whether we would fit into this class. We found Rodger and Janet to be extremely welcoming, and most importantly, found that the class had nothing to do with what religious denomination you are but instead focused on God's will and what he would want for you and your spouse. It is too easy to put off what is important in our lives simply based on our busy schedules. "Marriage on the Rock" is a refreshing reminder of what really counts and really simplifies how to get the most out of your marriage."
Joseph and Tanja, Cary, NC
- " We highly recommend Rodger and Janet's "Marriage on the Rock" class. We had no idea that when we began the course, after only 7 months of marriage, we could take away from the 12-week series such a wonderful and invaluable set of tools to help us as we embark on our lives as a Christ-focused married couple. Rodger and Janet made it so easy to identify with each topic through demonstrations and real-life examples. We feel truly blessed to have learned such valuable information at such an early point in our marriage. While the class has ended, our discussion and growth surrounding the course material continues to grow. The "Marriage on the Rock" series provided such a strong foundation for a marriage centered around Christ."
