How do you balance your professional and personal relationship?
We balance our work together through our passion. We both have our strengths and we bounce off of that. There are times when a couple needs more of a psychology style coaching [Ken’s expertise]. Or they need a spiritual or real truth coaching style [Myra’s expertise].
What are the benefits of working together?
We learn a lot about our marriage and the do’s and don’ts of what we don’t want to experience. Couples mainly come to us because they like having the male [and] female perspective to draw from in the sessions. Assisting the couples in formulating a healthy plan for their relationship brings us great joy and makes a lasting effect on our couples.
What are three rules that you can’t break?
We don’t find fault. We don’t blame or make anyone feel ashamed in our couples sessions. We decide how many couples we want to serve in a 90-day period.
What your top three places to vacation?
Our top three vacation spots are Florida, because we love the ocean; Myrtle Beach to rest and shop; and New York because there’s a diversity of people.
What have you learned from each other while working together?
That we are team players, just like we are at home.
What three books do you share?
5 Love Languages, the Bible, and His Needs/Her Needs
When do you pray together?
We pray often — every night, morning and when we feel the need to pray.
What type of rules have you set regarding resolving conflicts?
Conflicts have to be resolved within 24 hours or before going to bed at night.
Why is it important to serve the community?
Working together outside of home strengthens a couple’s relationship. It gives them an opportunity to serves others outside of themselves.
