  • "We attended a BootCamp with Sissy and Doug, and at the end of the day we felt so encouraged and supported in our relationship. We felt like even topics we had already talked about as a couple had been expanded and given new ideas and approaches."

    — Doug & Madison

  • “Doug & Sissy are wonderful people who share God’s plan and intention of marriage and tools that will help set a great foundation. We feel so much more prepared and excited to get married even after having the hard and uncomfortable conversations that they brought to light for us.”

    —Dameron & Kiana

  • We have been dating for almost 8 years and thought we had things pretty much figured out, but we learned SO much from our time spent with Doug and Sissy!! I would highly recommend this course for anyone because you will leave with more appreciation, understanding, and love for your partner!
