He and his wife, Cindy, have been married for 37 years and are actively involved in helping couples build great marriages. He is the author of the book, Tools for a Great Marriage, published in 2008. Dr. Gary Chapman, author of the mega-selling book, The Five Love Languages, says this of Willie Batson: I met Willie over 10 years ago and discovered a fellow marriage builder who had a desire to see marriages thrive. The kind of practical help he is providing to couples and churches in New England is needed throughout our nation. A seminar attendee wrote this about a Family Builders' marriage seminar: I thought it was very real and humorously presented. I appreciated that Willie was very encouraging and not at all condescending. I also really liked the practical applications of each session. |
