SMYRNA, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- Life Is Hard: Marriage Is Easy® has reached 20,000 Facebook followers as author Kerry Michael St. Martin expands the message of his award-winning book through The Global Marriage Network™, a growing Christian movement created to strengthen marriages, families, and churches worldwide.

The milestone reflects a growing search for biblical clarity and practical hope at a time when many couples have accepted conflict, emotional distance, and disconnection as unavoidable parts of marriage.

Life Is Hard: Marriage Is Easy: What God Intended Marriage to Be presents a different conclusion: Life contains unavoidable difficulties, but marriage was never designed by God to become another source of constant hardship.

"Reaching 20,000 followers represents far more than social-media growth," said St. Martin. "Every follower represents a life, a relationship, and a family that matters. People are searching for truth, clarity, restoration, and a better understanding of what God intended marriage to be."

Written by Kerry Michael St. Martin, Life Is Hard: Marriage Is Easy® received the 2026 ChristLit Award and is available internationally through major print and digital book retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and other leading outlets.

The book now serves as the Seed, Foundation, and Authority of The Global Marriage Network™, which is developing church partnerships, marriage education, speaking engagements, workshops, relationship resources, and international ministry outreach.

The ministry's architecture is clear: The Book establishes the Truth. The Global Marriage Network™ advances God's Mission.

"We are not building an audience simply to count followers," St. Martin said. "We are building a community capable of strengthening marriages, restoring families, equipping churches, and influencing future generations. Twenty thousand followers is evidence that the Seed has begun to grow."
