Co-Founder, President and CEO
Until Spring 2003, Dewey dedicated himself to becoming a respected home builder in the Dallas Metroplex. That year, he and his wife, Lynne, responded to
God's call to transition into full-time ministry, with a mission to strengthen marriages and families within the church. They soon developed a
couple-to-couple discipleship process, Marriage Mentors, which would later expand across the country. While they are still involved in the home-building
industry today, their work has shifted from constructing physical homes to building stronger marriages using God's Word, their own life experiences, and
those of thousands of mentors across North America and Canada.
Dr. Wilson has been teaching the Bible to married couples for over 30 years, driven by a passion to help men and women
know and experience God in transformative ways that deeply impact all of their relationships, especially marriage.
Since 2003, their Marriage Mentors program has maintained an impressive success rate of over 85% for couples who engage in
mentoring for six months or more, resulting in the enrichment or restoration of their relationships.
Alongside occasional contributions from Lynne, Dr. Wilson has authored or co-authored all of the resources for Strong
Marriages, including a practical premarital program called I Promise. He is also a contributing author to Focus on the Family's The Best Advice I Ever
Got on Marriage, compiled by Jim Daly, and co-authored The Relationally Intelligent Child with Dr. John Trent, a book on parenting published by
Northfield Publishing. Additionally, Dr. Wilson created the Connect Assessment®, a comprehensive online personality tool. For years, he shared his
insights on marriage through the Marriage Minute on Dallas Christian station KCBI 90.9 FM.
After a 30-year hiatus, Dewey returned to college in 2010, earning his BS in Religion in December 2011, followed by a
Master of Arts in Marriage and Family in 2013. He completed his Ph.D. in Philosophy, focusing on Cognition and Instruction, in May 2019. In addition to his daily responsibilities with Strong Marriages, Dr. Wilson also currently serves as an adjunct professor at Dallas Theological Seminary.
