Small Towns, Growing Fast
Marriage Coaching in Anna, Melissa & Van Alstyne
The towns along US 75 north of McKinney are filling with new neighborhoods, first homes and newly married couples. We coach couples in Anna, Melissa and Van Alstyne from our home near Celina — in person at a private location we arrange, or by video.
Starting Well
A lot of couples in Anna and Melissa are in their first years together: a first house, a first baby, maybe a first long commute. Those early years set the patterns the rest of the marriage runs on — how you talk about money, how you handle disagreements, how you include faith and family. A little coaching now saves a great deal of pain later, and it is far easier to build good habits than to break bad ones.
Who We Coach Here
- Engaged couples — premarital coaching with a completion letter for your pastor or officiant
- Newlyweds in their first few years who want a strong foundation
- Couples stretched thin by commuting, shift work or a new baby
- Remarried couples combining households and children
- Pastors and ministry couples serving young and growing congregations
For Pastors and Churches
Growing towns mean growing churches, and pastors are often asked to do premarital preparation and marriage care with little time and few resources. We coach pastor couples confidentially, outside their own congregation, and we help churches build marriage ministries — including premarital programs they can run themselves.
Getting to Us
Anna, Melissa and Van Alstyne are within easy reach of our home near Celina, so in-person sessions are practical. Video works well for couples further north toward Sherman, or for anyone who would rather skip the drive. We also coach couples in McKinney, Princeton and Blue Ridge.
