 Rachel Straussberg
Rachel Straussberg is the loving matriarch of the
Straussberg family, who came into particular prominence as a character
when she began struggling in her marriage to her husband
Stephen. The two were separated for
a time, and Rachel began struggling both to make ends meet and to care
for her daughter, who took the
separation particularly hard. During a women's prayer retreat, which she
attended with Elaine Washington, she
realized that the reason why her marriage with Stephen soured was
because they had stopped praying together--they had stopped putting
Christ at the center of it. After Mandy was hit by a car, Stephen and
David flew in from Chicago, where
Stephen had been attempting to find a job and a house, and Stephen and
Rachel had a chance to talk. Both of them came to the conclusion that
what they needed was not divorce, but to begin focusing their marriage
back to where it was supposed to be--aligned in the love of Christ--as
well as plenty of counseling. Eventually, the two of them repaired their
marriage, and the family was back to normal.
