What is this website about?

Freshly Married is a resource for anyone looking to strengthen their marriage! You’ll find helpful advice and new ideas to try whether you have been married for many years or just a few. Because ANY marriage can use a little freshener!

How did it get started?

Freshly Married began shortly after I was married when I felt a need to provide more resources for couples looking to strengthen their marriage, especially for newlyweds. So I started blogging about our experiences and the growing knowledge I was gaining while going to school to become a Relationship Specialist!

What does ‘Freshly Married’ mean?

Some people think it means someone who very recently got married, like a newlywed. Yes, that’s true, but I have taken it to a deeper meaning - That any couple no matter how many years they have been together, can make daily changes that keep their marriage lively and fresh :) I have written a post which explains more about this philosophy.

The wife behind Freshly Married

I am a Family Life Educator teaching couples how to strengthen their marriage and keep it fresh through helpful advice, support, ideas, and inspiration!

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and this faith is a big part of my marriage!

I love spending time with my husband because he’s kind of great! I try to look for the good in each day, especially with finding little events to celebrate with Sparkling Cider!

What qualifies me to give marriage advice?

I’m continually on the same journey to keep my marriage fresh, too! I believe sharing experiences helps us be more relatable to each other, but I also think it’s important to share sound advice because marriage is a big deal. Soooo I love sharing crucial information from top marriage experts, but I also have learned a lot through the following credentials:

  • Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Sciences, emphasis in Family Studies
  • PREP Trained Leader (Preventative Relationship Enhancement Program for married and committed relationships)
  • Certified Instructor with Family Wellness Associates, specializing in the “Survival Skills for Healthy Families”, “The Strongest Link: The Couple”, and “Map for Marriage: Before You Say I do” curriculums
  • P.I.C.K a Partner Program certified instructor with Love Thinks, based on the book “How to Avoid Falling in Love With a Jerk” by John Van Epp.
