“The Glue for Us Is Jesus”: Candace Cameron Bure on Battling Marriage Problems With the Bible

Candace Cameron Bure and former NHL hockey player Valeri Bure are celebrating 22 years of marriage this year, and we couldn’t be happier for this sweet couple who sets a prime example of unwavering commitment to both God and each other.

But it’s how you fight through them and Who you turn to in trouble that counts.

For Candace, that answer is quite simple: Jesus.
