Dear young married couple, you're in a busy season of your life.

You're probably working and involved in ministry.

And I'm Carissa King. And we work with busy couples just like you in our counseling office here in Sacramento, California. We also work with couples all over the world through online counseling.

And our couples are really just looking for ways to communicate with each other more effectively.

get adventurous, and find purpose.
