“Couples are taught to be successful marriage partners.”
Most of what the Iveys have learned about creating healthy families they learned the hard way. They owe a lot to great teachers, coaches and accountability partners who did not give up on them until they learned how to “get it right.”
Because of quality relationship education, hard work and their commitment to each other, they have more than 28 years of successful marriage in a blended family. They have been creating a successful marriage in a blended family since 1988.
They have three grown children and are Grammy and Pop to six grandsons, one grand princess and a godson.
