Also, in 2009, Rev. Dr. Bruce Grodner invited Dr. Rouse to a Mass Marriage Blessing at the Manhattan Center where immediately, “I knew the meaning, and in awe asked God for an anointing to bring the marriage blessing to all Christian churches.” Dr. Rouse was introduced to Rev.

The Rouses met Father and Mother Moon in Las Vegas in 2010 and have been inspired by the Marriage Blessing. Through the years the Rouses have grown through study, readings, praying, relationships with daughters of Father and Mother Moon to understand the workings of God through the Unification Movement worldwide, and the specific role of the United States of America. With the ways and means of the Marriage Blessing, Dr. and Mrs. Rouse hope to realize the making of world peace through the building of the “culture of heart” teachings of Father and Mother Moon. Dr. Rouse states, “What Father and Mother Moon have been called by God to build as the kingdom of heaven on earth with the True Family establishment is the current movement of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to the teachings for all the world to know the truth.”
