What Couples are Saying

We interviewed couples who had a child before getting married and now have a healthy marriage. Here is some of what they had to say (names have been changed):

"What would have made our lives easier? One-on-one mentoring, mutual support from couples, classes . . ." -Kaisha & BJ

"Find that pocket of support . . . Accept all the support that you can get." -Tami & Max

"Take advantage of . . . any programs that are offered (and) don't be afraid to use them!" -Serena & William

"(Get) a couple to look up to, like a mentor couple." -Maria & Carlos
