Matt Hammitt made one of the hardest decisions of his life 5 years ago to leave his highly successful music career to focus on his marriage and family.

Matt is a singer, songwriter, husband, father of four and now speaker. He was the singer for the band Sanctus Real for 20 yrs., from 1996 to 2016 and the recipient of 3 Dove Awards, Christian music's most coveted honor. He's also been nominated for two Grammy Awards.

But when his bands success was pulling him away from his marriage and family, Matt had to find the courage to fight to save it. This is his story.

 

"Every marriage is either moving towards isolation or oneness." -Matt Hammitt
