    Candace Cameron Bure's son saved her marriage

    The 49-year-old actress - who has Natasha, 26, Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23, with husband Valeri Bure - admitted she and the former hockey player went through a "really, really rough" patch in their union and were questioning whether they still had a future together when their middle child gave them a lesson from the Bible, which he hoped would be helpful for the couple


    Speaking on her eponymous podcast, Candace said: "Val and I went through a really, really rough season in our marriage in 2020, and that's when the pandemic hit.

    "It was going south quickly, and we were like, 'I don't know, don't think ... we're gonna make it through.'

    "At one point, Lev, Maks and Natasha, but Lev was the one leading the charge. He came up to us and said, 'We'd like to talk to you guys.' Val and I sat down and Lev preached, like, a 45-minute sermon on marriage to us. Just had his Bible open on the couch and just talked about it."

    "And I'll never forget, 'cause he said, 'You know, I know I haven't been married. I'm just a young kid. And so it's probably hard to take marriage advice from someone this young [who] never experienced it before. But I don't need to be married to know what the word of God says.'"

    The Full House star recalled how Lev had "such a calm voice that had so much wisdom behind it" when he sat his parents down, and the conversation made them appreciate what they had together.

    She continued: "He looked us straight in the eye and individually asked me and then asked Val, 'Have you done everything you can? Is there one step of grace, is there just some bit of more grace you can give? Is there one more act of kindness in you that you could give to try to reconcile?'

    "When we walked away from that and Val and I were like, 'Huh, we raised some pretty good kids.'"

    Candace called her son's advice the "pivotal moment" that "really changed" things for her and Valeri, 51.

    She added: "There was a lot more to it, but it's a whole different scenario when your kids sit you down to have a talk and go, 'Are you being as mature as you can be?' I'm so grateful to Lev and Maks and Natasha. They were so supportive of everything."

    Lev was also on the podcast and admitted the words from his mom - who has been married to Valeri for 29 years - had left him "emotional" but he and his siblings were keen to do what they could.

    He said: "I think it came from a point of love. Even when my siblings and I talked about it, it was like, 'Man, we want more than anything for our parents to be together.' But, let's get to the matter of fact, it's only going to happen through Jesus. That was all we could point them to."
