Lev Bure got choked up after mom Candace Cameron Bure revealed that he saved her marriage to husband Valeri Bure.
“I think it came from a point of love. Even when my siblings [Natasha and Maksim Bure] 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,” Lev, 25, said during the Tuesday, July 8, episode of the “Candace Cameron Bure” podcast. “That was all we could point them to.”
He added, “You had me emotional over here.”
Candace, 49, revealed during Tuesday’s podcast episode that she and Valeri, 51, went through a “really rough season” in their marriage in 2020.
“We were like, ‘I don’t know, don’t think … we’re gonna make it through,’” she recalled. “But at one point, Lev preached, like, a 45-minute sermon on marriage to us. Just had his Bible open on the couch and just talked about it.”
Candace Cameron Bure’s Best Quotes About Her Marriage to Valeri Bure
The Full House alum said she would “never forget” that moment.
“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,’” Candace recalled, noting that Lev spoke with “such a calm voice that had so much wisdom behind it.”
She and Valeri “walked away” from the conversation thinking: “We raised some pretty good kids.”
Before they started to discuss other topics during Tuesday’s episode, Lev thanked his mom for opening up about the rough patch.
Candace and Valeri married in 1996, later welcoming Lev, Natasha, 26, and Maksim, 23. (She was introduced to the former hockey pro through fellow Full House alum Dave Coulier.)

While Candace often speaks highly of her relationship, the actress reflected on some hard times in her marriage during a 2018 interview with Us Weekly.

The actress explained that traveling a lot was “the secret” to success.
“You know, being away from each other makes the heart grow fonder,” she added.
