GREETINGS!

 My name is Kristin and I am the Marriage Enthusiast! I am excited to meet you! Well, just like many of you, I am A LOT! I am a wife, mother, student, teacher, speaker and marriage preparation coach which all adds up to an amazing Entrepreneur! Is it crazy? Heck, yeah! But everything I am is everything I’ve been called to be and I will do it continually and intentionally until the day I die! So let’s go down the list:

 Wife/Mother- I am married to James Young, the greatest husband who truly was created just for me! I love being his wife and supporter and I am excited for our future as leaders of the Joyously Married World!  Through this dynamic marriage we have 5 gorgeous and brilliant children and 5 spectacular grandchildren. The family life is a great life!!

 Student/Teacher- I love to learn! I became a Certified Professional Coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC) and earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Bowie State University. As for teaching, I love doing workshops and teaching my coaching clients valuable life skillsthrough our sessions. I learn a lot through my clients too. I am a student of life! There is always something to learn if you are open to receive. This also applies to teaching! With toddlers around, teaching is a given, but with adults around, teaching is inevitable!

 Speaker/Marriage Preparation Coach- This is my career, my profession and my passion! I created my organization, Living The Vows, to assist others with bringing joy to their marriages BEFORE the proposal. I desire to see healthier and more joy-filled marriages and I believe one giant step in this direction is preparing people for marriage. Marriage is not all that we see, but it can be all that we dream if we’re honest and willing to do the work to transition from a “Me” to a “We” mentality. It took 6 girlfriends to announce their separations and divorces in less than a year for me to recognize that marriage preparation is thecommon denominator in many severed marriages. Marriage preparation is not just finance andcommunication classes that we take during engagement. It is a life-facing truth about who I am, knowing my worth and being the compliment and support to this person of my choosing through every situation that we cannot predict.

 My mission is simply this, to restore the beauty, respect and value that marriage deserves by reaching 3 million married couples who are committed to “Living the Vows…and LOVING it!”
