Marriage
On Purpose.
Don and Ernestine Hopkins believe strong marriages don’t just happen — they’re built with intention, honest conversations, connection, and a commitment to keep choosing each other. Through faith-centered coaching and practical tools, they help couples strengthen what they have, reconnect when they’ve grown apart, and find a path toward healing when trust has been broken.
MEET DON AND ERNESTINE
Don and Ernestine Hopkins are the husband-and-wife team behind The Marriage Altaer and With the Hopkins. For nearly two decades, they’ve been building a life, family, and marriage together—and have learned firsthand that strong marriages are built with faith, intentionality, honest conversations, and a willingness to keep choosing one another.
​
Through marriage coaching, books, devotionals, speaking engagements, The Marriage Altaer Podcast, and other faith-centered resources, they encourage and equip husbands and wives to heal, grow, reconnect, and build marriages that can thrive.
