A Relationship Tested by ‘Valleys of Real Struggle’
Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about the difficult seasons in her nearly three-decade marriage to former NHL player Valeri Bure. While many see their relationship as picture-perfect, the Full House alum confessed that they have navigated “valleys of real struggle” and times of profound hardship.
“There were times of deep brokenness that I felt. But God is in the restoration business,” Cameron Bure, 49, shared while promoting her new book, Rise and Renew. She explained that balancing her demanding career with family life has been a persistent challenge.
Reaching a ‘Breaking Point’
The actress revealed that the couple’s issues once became so severe that they reached a “breaking point.” Though their “vow and commitment” to each other never wavered, they had to confront the reality that their relationship was in a bad place.
Cameron Bure recalled a pivotal moment when their eldest son, Lev, offered them advice rooted in his faith, which helped guide them back to each other. It was a wake-up call that prompted them to start the difficult work of repairing the fractures in their marriage.
“Sometimes within relationships, we have to break it down, like, into just what seems like so many broken pieces,” she explained. “But then when you put them all together, you really can build it even better.”
Finding New Love After the Storm
Today, Cameron Bure gushes that the effort was worth it. “I’m more in love with my husband today than when we met. He is truly my best friend,” she stated. With their three children now grown, the couple is rediscovering their relationship and enjoying a “great season of life.”
‘Rise and Renew’: Turning Pain into Purpose
These intense personal experiences heavily influenced her new 30-day devotional, Rise and Renew: A 30-Day Devotional to Heal a Hurting Heart, Overcome Emotional Pain, and Grow in Your Faith. She began writing it during the pandemic, a time when she faced hardships not only in her marriage but also within her family.
“I needed to really reflect on what was true and right and not let my thoughts spin. And so that’s where the book really came from,” she noted. The book is designed to help readers find hope by renewing their minds each day, a practice she credits with helping her overcome her own struggles. Through scripture and personal reflections, she aims to remind readers that even when life doesn’t go as planned, faith can make a huge difference.
