About Nick I. Gonzalez
"It's not about the perfection of your marriage, it's about the direction of your marriage."
My Story
Hi, I'm Nick. My wife, Marisol, and I have been on an incredible adventure together for 34 years. We've raised four amazing children, and in 2023, we were blessed with three precious grandchildren. Two more are expected in 2025.
Our journey has been filled with joy, laughter, and challenges. In 2017, our lives took an unexpected turn when Marisol was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It's been a demanding but deeply rewarding experience, which has deepened our bond and fueled my passion for helping other couples navigate life's ups and downs.
My Passion and Expertise
With a Master of Divinity from Azusa Pacific University and a firm belief in the life-changing power of faith and God's love, I've dedicated my career to empowering couples to build thriving, faith-filled relationships. Currently, I serve as Director of Victory Outreach Bible College, equipping current and future leaders.
