She witnessed a pattern of marrying the same problems over and over again.  And, she felt the pain of so many broken relationships and vowed that when she married she would not follow in the foot-steps of her family.  She committed to staying married and learning what she needed to learn to be happily married.  Thankfully she found Dr. Dana and decided to partner with her to spread those skills to the general public so that more people could avoid the pain she witnessed growing up.
