through my own life’s experiences and my years of counseling and advising couples, that too often when a couple announces their engagement, very few of their closest supporters ask any questions. Everyone is so swept up in the excitement of the moment that no one bothers to validate one of the most critical decisions one can make in life.

It’s not until a marriage is on life support or a divorce has occurred that the questions start flying at the couple at 1oo MPH. So I asked myself the question, “what if the questions that were asked at the end were asked before the beginning?”

As I started to implement this technique with couples that I counseled they were more prepared, and more intentional about their lives after the wedding day. They were able to experience the newness of an authentic relationship before they knew they needed it. Asking these questions was also critical for the transformation many needed after their first years of marriage.

Transformation is not an easy process, but it’s definitely worth the investment.  But it wasn’t meant to travel alone.  It takes someone who can help lead you through this process who has been there before.

I realize now that the relationship pain I’ve suffered in my own life created a passion for the emotional health of young couples. It led me on a journey of study and healing to help others avoid some of the pitfalls I’ve suffered because of my own ignorance.

My degrees and certifications in business, pastoral counseling and leadership helped me in theory but my life has been the most rigorous classroom of all. It is my life’s joy to walk with you and share the wisdom I’ve gained by learning the art of asking questions and engaging in courageous conversations.
