A Wedding is a Day. A Marriage is a Lifetime.

Marriage is a beautiful mess that blends two different lives together into one. It takes love and commitment to make it work. As you head toward your wedding day, it can be so easy to get lost in planning details for your celebration that you neglect preparing for the life together that will follow. 

We're committed to help shape healthy marriages both before your wedding day and after. Whether you're working toward wedded bliss or working on health in your relationship, we'd love to help set you up for success.

Rev. Cory Smith and his wife Lydia are certified facilitators with Prepare/Enrich - an assessment to help couples understand and improve relationship dynamics. The assessment is just a tool, but it offers insights to equip couples to communicate and love each other well. For more information on the process, check out prepare-enrich.com.
