On today’s episode we’re giving you a glimpse into why we do what we do here at Expedition Marriage. We know that not everyone dreams of growing up and becoming marriage counselors.

BUT, we each have our reasons behind why we chose this path and we want to share them with you.

So, grab a few minutes and join us. We promise, once you get to know us you’ll quickly learn that we’re just an ordinary couple with a God sized, hope filled vision for marriages and families.
