Meet Venus Mason Theus

When her close circle of friends were in college preparing for exciting careers,  21-year-old Venus Mason Theus was the stay at home mom of an infant daughter and married to a bi-polar drug addict who, unbeknown to her, often hallucinated about murdering their entire family then killing himself.  She never imagined that God would give her a second chance; and that someday she would become a fervent, sought after advocate for Christian marriage – coaching, teaching and encouraging other women that they too, can have a Joyfully-Ever-After Marriage.

Exquisite teacher! A leader! Refreshingly transparent are among the words used to describe Venus Mason Theus. She is dedicated to educating married women on how to find joy in all situations; and teaches brides-to-be and someday brides to choose wisely. Her words of wisdom are seasoned with love, support, and truth: a combination any woman can benefit from.  Single women receive spiritual and practical preparation so that they can be ready for Boaz before he shows up! Venus’ conference and workshop topics address everything from in-laws to intimacy.

In her books, blogs and workshops, Venus candidly shares her own experiences – the trials as well as the triumphs.  She is passionate about cultivating a community of what she calls “P31s” – empowered, yet nurturing women who know their value and operate within the purpose for which they were created.

Venus is the author of Brown Paper Bag, a novel and a marriage guide entitled How to Have a Joyfully- Ever-After Marriage. Although different genres, the theme of both books is faith, virtue, and self value.  Venus has also written articles for Gospel Today and Sister Talk magazines.  She has made  appearances on the CTN Live, Wake Up Detroit, and Words- N-Motion television shows; and has been interviewed on the Women in Ministry with Fatima Boggan-Campbell radio show. She has also been a guest on the Christian Wives’ Club, and the Chocolate Pages internet radio broadcasts. She is the host of her own internet radio show, the Wisdom for Wives Pajama Party.

She and her husband serve as the co-directors of the Uplift Family Ministry of Greater Grace Temple. Her church and community activism have afforded her numerous speaking engagements. Her platform of Joyfully-Ever-After Marriage offers hope, healing and assurance that contrary to popular belief, monogamous, joyful marriage is indeed alive and well!

Venus has been married to Rick Theus, the man of her dreams, since 1985.  Together they head their blended family of 5 adult offspring and have a current total of 14 grandchildren.
