Premarital & Couples Therapy

Why did I get married?

I have been married for 17 years. I got married at a young 23 years old. I had no idea what I was getting into, lol. I can say with confidence, that marrying my husband was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Twenty-three year old me got married because she was crazy in love and wanted to live the Cliff and Clair Huxtable life…40 something year old me has remained married all these years because she learned that: 1) While Cliff and Claire are an amazing example of marriage, they are fictional characters. Everyday doesn’t feel like the Cosby Show, but some days do; 2) Marriage is like everything else in life. If you want it to be successful you must be intentional, consistent, and dedicated; and 3) Marriage changes just like the seasons. If you’re going to thrive through those changes you’ll need to be patient, loving, and committed.

While my marriage has been amazing, it hasn’t been easy. My husband spent 21 years in the US Army. That means we moved often (sometimes yearly). That means deployments. Months and months (totaling to years) apart from me and the kids. That means high stress! Transition after transition. Career changes, death of loved ones, having kids, growing older…we’ve experienced so much. But it has taught me so much more. Marriage is a test of time. It is a reflection of your inner self. It takes work and dedication.

I’d love to assist you and your spouse as you navigate this beautiful journey called marriage. Book a consultation here.
