OUR STORY
We got married 2/29/2012
We blended our family
We both pursued college educations, Heather in Nursing and Paul as a Paramedic
We got pregnant. The shock of our lives- IDENTICAL TWIN BOYS
We moved several times
We advanced our careers
Life got busier, Finances got crazier. Our relationship got tough, parenting got tough, work got tough, life got tough! Arguments increased in frequency, voices became raised, our home became divided
We loved each other, but in a different way. After trying everything we could think of, talking to multiple counselors and therapists, eventually we got divorced
We struggled when parenting separately, and our kids started acting out
After our divorce, we took time to evaluate and invest in ourselves
We attended several coaching courses, had real and meaningful conversations with one another
We experienced so much growth individually, together, and as a family
On 2/29/24, we remarried each other, with a new approach to our relationship
Our relationship was on the rocks for years! We tried everything!! Counseling didn't seem to help. We both felt like no one understood us. Our relationship was failing, and our family was falling apart more each passing day. Trust for one another was completely gone, and it felt like we would NEVER trust each other again. As we talked with others inside our professions, we found that MOST of our friends and co-workers had unresolved marital issues or had floated between numerous relationships.
After addressing our own challenges, we are excited to say, we have never been closer, we have rebuilt our trust again, and we are more in love with each other than we ever thought possible. As we continued to grow, we vowed to do everything we can to help other responders and healthcare professionals strengthen their relationships.

We vowed that we would do everything we could to help others with their families and relationships that are, and have gone through something similar.
Our relationship had been on the rocks for years. We tried counseling, but nothing was helping. No one understood us. Ultimately, our relationship was failing, and our family was dividing. The trust was completely gone. Fastforward; we learned so much about ourselves from this program. I NEVER thought we'd be able to trust each other again. We were surprised at how fast the trust grew. Our relationship changed in just a couple of months. We now have a love that we never thought we could have. We love all the things we have learned and continue to learn.
