“I am so grateful for these seminars because I learned something about my husband that I had never known before, and this is going to make such a difference in our marriage.”
“Because you guys were so real, I decided to listen to you. You know what it’s like to go through tough times in your marriage, so what you shared was not just theoretical. Your vulnerability made it real.”
“I thought my marriage was pretty good; I didn’t know how much better it could get. Your seminar helped us improve our intimacy. You gave us tools that really work.”
