Mark Gungor

Mark Gungor is a nationally recognized speaker, author, and relationship expert who has built a career focused on the challenges of making marriage work. Thousands of people attend his seminars and keynote speeches each year. Gungor conducted his first marriage seminar out of necessity, and the enthusiastic response from that initial audience set the stage for his continued influence. His practical, humor-driven approach to relationships resonates with audiences across the United States and internationally.

Gungor's breakthrough came with his "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage" seminar, which challenged traditional approaches to relationship counseling by incorporating humor and lightheartedness into discussions of serious topics. His ability to connect with audiences and provide practical tools for building healthy marriages has made him a sought-after speaker in the field of marriage and family education. Gungor's candid and comedic approach uses illustrations and the power of laughter to teach principles aimed at strengthening relationships. He avoids both church-specific and psychological jargon, emphasizing that relationships between men and women are fundamentally down to earth.

In addition to his live seminars, Gungor has written several books that serve as resources for couples seeking to improve their relationships, including "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage" and "Be Attitudes of Marriage." These works explore the differences between men and women and offer strategies for understanding and appreciating those differences. He is also the co-creator of the Flag Page, a tool designed to help individuals understand their motivations and improve communication, thereby enhancing relationships.

Gungor's impact extends beyond speaking engagements and books. He has appeared on television and radio programs such as Focus on the Family, Life Today, and ABC News, sharing insights on relationships and offering guidance to couples. His "Better Marriage Minute" radio program is broadcast on 250 radio stations nationwide, and "The Mark Gungor Show" is available online. He is also the creator of the television series "Love, Marriage, and Stinking Thinking," which is broadcast internationally on networks including TBN. His YouTube clips have garnered more than 100 million views.

Gungor's materials have been used as primary resources for relationship improvement by the U.S. Military. He has also worked to bring the Laugh Your Way seminars and materials to the Latino population. His information is used in higher education classes worldwide. Gungor serves as the senior pastor of Celebration Church, a multi-site church with five campuses across Wisconsin, and as CEO of Laugh Your Way America.
