Ride or Die: A Love that Lasts a Lifetime
We believe true love is more than just the big moments—it’s found in the small, everyday choices you make to show up for each other. It’s about growing together through life’s ups and downs and staying committed to building a relationship that’s rooted in respect, trust, and deep connection.
We hope to empower couples to cultivate this kind of love—one that doesn’t just last a lifetime but thrives through it.

Our story begins in an unexpected place, and what followed changed everything…
Our journey didn’t follow the typical path, and that’s what makes it ours. It all started with two young people, full of hope, meeting in the most unlikely of circumstances—at a Spring Music Festival in 1965. Little did we know that what seemed like a casual date would be the beginning of a life filled with adventure, growth, and love that could move mountains.
We’ve navigated this life together—through the thick and thin, from raising a family to learning how to keep the spark alive. Along the way, we discovered that the secret to a lasting relationship is choosing each other, every single day. Through our workshops, books, and decades of experience, we’ve become passionate about helping other couples do the same.
It’s not just about where we’ve been, but what we’ve learned—and we’re here to share those lessons with you. If we could leave behind anything, it would be this: Love is built in the everyday moments, and your legacy is shaped by the love you give and receive.
…and the rest is our Legacy of Love.
