Marriage is F.L.Y. (FUN LOVING YOU) is a Christian-based marriage group founded by Aaron and Dianna (Poppy) Munson. The group was launched on Facebook in July 2011 as place for married couples to converse and share experiences with one another. In less than six-months, the marriage group has grown to nearly 400 members across the United States and as far as the United Kingdom. The purpose of Marriage is F.L.Y. is to promote faith, family, fun, and fellowship. As a community of married couples, the group host daily discussions on everything from personal finances, shared families, cooking and cleaning, love language, rekindling romance, sharing time with family and the church, sharing time with spouse and children, date nights, and more!

Couples encourage one another, admonishing each other in the faith – building one another up with the Word of God and esteeming their spouse. Couples share funny pictures, stories, and memories. Discussions expand to include current events and prayer request. Marriage is F.L.Y. endeavors to promote positive engagement and members are not allowed to converse directly with other members. All communication must be published on the wall for everyone to read and respond. Members of the page are prohibited from derogatory statements, negative post, or publishing information that may damage the credibility of their spouse, compromise the integrity of their marriage, or contradict the character of the group. Members who violate the regulations have their post immediately removed and profiles are subject to be deleted from the group. In September 2011, the group expanded beyond the walls of the page on Facebook and hosted its first couples date night at Carrabbas Italian Grill in Bowie, MD. News quickly spread about the new marriage group and Marriage is F.L.Y. was featured on Radio One, WOL 1450 in October 2011. The show was hosted by Author and Pastor CJ Blare (filling in for Rev. Dr. Carole James) and featured founders Aaron and Poppy along with their special guest couple from the group, Chris and Jamia Chiles. The one hour discussion aired on both local radio and the internet.

Aaron and Poppy recently launched a new website for the group. The website is place where members can RSVP and register for on-going events and services offered by Marriage is F.L.Y. Because the group is closed on Facebook and is only available to married couples through invitation only, the website allows members of the group to share the public information with others who may be interested in joining the group.

The 2012 calendar for Marriage is F.L.Y. has been released and features monthly date-nights for the group at restaurants and establishments in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The group is currently developing a planning committee and has plans to launch a Marriage is F.L.Y. events team for the growing membership in the Florida region. Some of the events in 2012 include Semi-Annual First Wives Club Dates, which the husbands sponsor a spa treatment and lunch date for their wives. The Semi-Annual Man’s Man Club will also host two game day and lunch events, sponsored by their wives. Marriage is F.L.Y. will host its first bowling championship, coordinate “Fit to Serve” a couples Biggest Loser contest in which couples compete to shed pounds together, FUN LOVING YOU Couples Retreat, and a Holiday Cruise Lunch in Washington, D.C. Marriage is F.L.Y. is also coordinating hotel, air flight, and ground transportation for two major Christian conferences, “ManPower” in August 2012 and “Women Thou Art Loosed” in October 2012, both hosted by Bishop TD Jakes of the Potters House in Dallas, TX.

Aaron and Poppy currently serve as members of Victory Christian Ministries International at its Waldorf, MD location. Although Marriage is F.L.Y. (FUN LOVING YOU) is not directly affiliated with the church, it is an outreach and evangelism tool rooted in the sound fundamental principles of the local church and the Body of Christ. As an extension of the altar, Marriage is F.L.Y. endeavors to promote marriage as an act of faith – not a commitment of love. In doing so, Aaron and Poppy hope that creating a strong community of Christian marriages will encourage believers to see the end of their faith – where divorce is not an option. Marriage is F.L.Y. believes that marriage honorable before the Lord and, and as believers, couples can experience heaven on earth not only in marriage, but in every area of their lives. Furthermore, they believe that in the Kingdom of God there is nothing lacking, nothing missing, nothing broken or destroyed. When marriage is rooted in the Word of God, He is watching over His Word to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. They further believe that human love fails (divorce) but God’s love never fails. It always causes us to triumph, always causes us to win, and always causes us to walk and live in total victory. Marriage is F.L.Y. promotes and believes that as God was with Abraham, so shall He be with the couples of Marriage is F.L.Y. – satisfying each couple with long satisfying life – full of victories. “As Jesus Is So Are We In This World!” John 4:17
