Gerry & Monica Dudley
Founders of DateLife Marriage Ministry
Gerry and Monica Dudley are the founders of DateLife Marriage Ministry, a Christ-centered movement dedicated to helping couples build strong, God-focused marriages that last a lifetime. Married for over 43 years, the Dudleys have raised five children and are the proud grandparents of nine.
As certified facilitators of the SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessment, Gerry and Monica blend biblical wisdom with practical tools to equip couples for success in every stage of marriage. Together, they have served in singles and couples ministries, teaching and mentoring under the leadership of Apostle and Prophet Dorrine Jones at Abounding Grace Family Worship Center in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania.
Their powerful teaching ministry emphasizes that marriage begins with an individual’s relationship with God. Through workshops, retreats, and their inspiring podcast “DateLife: Radically Married,” the Dudleys encourage couples not just to plan a “date night,” but to live a “DateLife”—a lifestyle of love, intentionality, and spiritual intimacy.
With over four decades of experience walking hand-in-hand through life’s challenges and victories, Gerry and Monica embody what it means to love radically, live faithfully, and build a marriage that reflects the heart of Christ.
