javier & shannan

Javier and Shannan Labrador are the visionary founders of 24/7 Marriage, an organization dedicated to restoring hope, redeeming stories, and building strong marriages. With 30 years of marriage experience, they bring authenticity, wisdom, and humor to their mission of transforming relationships.

A unique hallmark of their work is The Marriage Lab—a 38-ft. mobile marriage support 5th wheel that travels across the country, providing hands-on support and guidance to couples in need. Over the last 13 years, they have impacted thousands of marriages, earning them the title of the original "Marriage Flippers!"

Javier and Shannan are proud parents to two daughters, McKenna and Mikaela, and one epic son-in-law. As sought-after speakers, counselors, coaches, and authors of the upcoming book Confessions of a Terrible Wife, they are passionate about helping couples rewrite their stories and discover the deeper purpose of marriage: to honor God.

Their mantra, “In marriage, you don’t have to—you GET to,” reflects their belief that shifting perspective can transform relationships. Through weekly podcasts, resources, 24/7 Marriage Boot Camps, and national speaking engagements, the Labradors remain unwavering in their mission to strengthen marriages everywhere.

We do this work because we want each of you to experience all God has for you in this amazing and crazy journey called marriage. Listen, our first five years of marriage were rough. Only by applying the principles and tools we now share with others were we able to save our marriage, that and a commitment always to serve and believe the best in each other, and fight for one another…24/7! Never forget there is hope. We are all about you! We are with you, and we are for your marriage. Let’s do this!
