They truly are people of their word – their entire family is just as amazing as they are!  Troy and Kathleen gave an engaging talk at our parish about how marriage is like a dance.

They have a dynamic approach to techniques that can help couples re-engage with their marriage.”— Sara Graf – INDIANA
