Having been married for 17 years—a mother for 16—I know too well the many ways a marriage gets put in the background.
As newlyweds, Alfred and I attended our first class for couples because we wanted help managing our emotions, our differences, and building a relationship that we would both be grateful for.
It wasn’t an easy feat.
We had to retrain our brain from what we learned as kids and stay committed to the practice.
And there’ll be times that challenge us today, and we still revisit the skills.
Throughout our marriage, we’ve lived in 3 different countries (1 year in Mexico, 5 years in England, and a couple states in America) and have experienced many stages and challenges that life throws at us.
Thanks to what we learned in 2006, we set on a journey of being permanent students of relationship science.
Since then, we’ve been certified, got an education and have taught hundreds of couples for over a decade.
