The Family Proclamation teaches, "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities."
Our guests for this episode are our dear friends, Josh and Monique Pratt. They work to build their family on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Together, they find joy in creating an eternal marriage following the complex challenges of divorce. Their fun personalities bring optimism and wisdom to this conversation.
Josh was born in Logan, Utah, and had lived in five different states by the time he was five years old. He then grew up in Layton, Utah. Just before his senior year of high school, he moved to Beaverton, Oregon, where he met Monique for the first time.
Josh served a mission in Rome, Italy. He graduated from BYU and has worked in business consulting, technology, and trading securities. He loves his children, treasures time with Monique, finds joy serving in the church, and enjoys being outdoors. Josh is an avid reader and loves learning.
Monique grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, the third of seven children to Bob and Nan French. She graduated from BYU and enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom until her 18-year marriage ended. She became a teacher at a level six secure residential treatment center for girls, where she currently works. Monique loves staying active outdoors with her husband and children.
Josh and Monique have been married for almost 11 years, and together they have nine children. They consider themselves experts at making mistakes, learning from them, and repenting!
