"I met Elise in college and we have been married since 1980. Throughout the years we have been so grateful to learn and grow in our marriage through marriage enrichment activities, marriage education workshops, seminars, books, and marriage-oriented spiritual growth groups. We love each other and our marriage, and it gives us great delight to support people to grow in their own relationships. We are so happy to have five wonderful adult children married to amazing spouses and we are reveling in getting to know our grandchildren. For recreation, we dated on walks in the rain, and we still love to walk, hike, camp, and travel."
