David and Valerie met in high school, have been together since 2006 and married in 2012.
David and I were civilly married for a few years before seeking Convalidation of our marriage in the Catholic Church.
Because we were civilly married before seeking the Convalidation of our Marriage, we were unsure what to expect of the Catholic Marriage prep program.
We thought we had it all figured out, having been together for 14 years we have experienced so much life together.
I mean we have grown up together for our adult life.
We are happy to admit we actually learned so much, we have a pretty strong marriage, but one thing that the Church teaches us is there is always room to grow.
We had the "if only we knew then what we know now" moment, and that's okay because thankfully God gives us a second chance.
We are so happy now to help guide couples to help understand the teachings of the Church and the blessings that can be had from the Sacrament of Matrimony. 
      
David is a Technical Support Engineer for a Geospatial Software Company and Valerie is an Applications Analyst for a Catholic Health System.
We are from a small town in Northeastern Colorado where we enjoy the great outdoors such as camping, hunting/fishing.
We enjoy spending time with our families, and our Boxer Tyson.
In our free time, we are youth sports coaches, and volunteering as Marriage Prep instructors for our home Catholic Church. Which led us to join the Agape Ministry as Marriage Prep Instructors to help couples in their journey to the Sacrament of Matrimony.

Both: We have learned about God's love and we hope to be a better reflection of God's love by loving each other wholeheartedly.
