What led you to want to teach relationship and marriage education?
I was introduce to relationship and marriage education by being a presenter at Healthy Marriage Classes to share local resource information. After staying in the classes after my presentation on several occassions. I said to myself “Wow!,” I sure could have used some of these skills when I was going through my difficult relationships. I probably could of prevented my divorce if I had this great relationship education. I soon inquired on how to become a relationship educator, and was hired with a local organization and taught relationship and marriage education for five years. I am now CEO and founder of a non-profit organization that provides relationship education to my local and surrounding communities in the Roseville, California area.
What inspires your passion for helping relationships?
I believe relationships are a natural part of life. And healthy companionship brings joy, security, friendship and family. I was raised in a single-parent household and because of that lifestyle, I just always wanted to be apart of a two-parent family. As an adult, my relationships failed and because of my failures, I sought love in the wrong places and for the wrong reasons. I hoped for financial success, fame, and fortune. I entered into unmarried relationships, where I sacrificed my personal values and morals.
My passion stems from my own personal relationship difficulties. And the desire to be apart of a healthy relationship. If I can help one person or one couple cherish what they have together it is worth every effort I could put forth in keeping families together.
What are some of the challenges you’ve found people are better equipped to overcome in their lives as a result of Marriage and Relationship Education?
Marriage and relationship education focuses on effective communication of which so many couples refuse to take the time to listen to one another or they just do not feel that talking will change the situation. After taking a relationship education class, being taught communication skills and having an opportuntity to role play real life topics in a safe environment, couples open up and experience the magic of effective communication. The results are almost immediate.
How has your work in this field touched your own life?
Wow, I have learned so much about myself and come to appreicate the differences in others and realized that we are not perfect beings and that it is okay to have differences of opinions. But after everything is said and done, I choose to still love, enjoy and create a peaceful relationship. I have learned to accept another’s honesty, and to show understanding. I have learned how to listen and accept another’s view point. Working in the field of relationship education and applying the skills in my own life have been an awesome experience and created a better ME!
What’s a wish, hope and/or dream you’d like to share?
I hope everyone would realize the importance of having a healthy relationship. And not to enter into relationships lightly. People’s emotions and feelings are involved. And we must open ourselves up too vunerability every time we enter someone’s life. Be gentle, courteous, and respectful to one another.
