We’re Carson and Glenda, a mentoring couple bringing decades of life and marriage experience to the table. Having both remarried after losing our first spouses to cancer, we know the challenges—and joys—of building a lasting relationship. We walk alongside engaged couples who want more than wedding preparation; they want a strong foundation for a lifetime together. With warmth, honesty, and Christian wisdom, we guide you through the conversations that matter most, helping you start well and stay strong.

“We bring the wisdom of our story so you can shape yours.”
