Couple Spotlight: Anna + Lucas

We are excited to introduce you to Lucas & Anna!  They are one of the many younger couples ushering in a new trend of seeking relationship coaching prior to getting engaged...and we LOVE IT.   They knew their relationship was heading toward marriage, but they wanted to ask some of the hard questions and be better prepared for marriage before the emotions of engagement and wedding planning clouded their ability to learn and grow.  We were certainly not that smart when we were preparing to get married, and we have learned a lot from their journey from dating to engagement and now marriage.

One of the most notable things about Anna and Lucas is their ability to be autonomous while also being connected. Seriously, they are so comfortable with having individual hobbies, friends, and dreams while still loving being deeply connected partners and doing simple things like making meals and watching movies together.  Trust us...they really are as cool as they look  (as you will see below).
