Once upon a time in a bar in Okinawa, Japan, a handsome, young Airman met a wild female Marine.

I married Bill when we were 19 years old. We knew absolutely nothing about what having a thriving, loving marriage would require. We began a family in our first year of marriage and over the course of 9 years, we grew our family to hold 5 children.

Our story has been filled with unbelievable joy, lots of laughter, but also deep heartbreak. It's the story that makes me believe in love and the nourishing power of marriage.



I believe in the power of love to transform the world. Walking beside couples as they navigate life together and providing a safe, supportive space for their growth is my super-power.

I'm Penny.

words to live by

"You can't make footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your butt. And who wants to make buttprints in the sands of time?"
                                            ― Bob Moawad

Having my own 35 year marriage, one that has been the greatest source of growth, challenge, and joy of my life, has made me truly believe that being seen and loved by another human being, as well as seeing and loving another person for a lifetime, is an adventure worth taking.

I also understand the strength and commitment required to face the most painful things and continue to choose one another and believe the best in each other... even when we cannot see it in ourselves.

I believe in real love... I believe in the strength found in marriage... for myself and for you.

There is no such thing as a perfect marriage and I'm a long way from being the ideal wife. In a world obsessed with perfection, I am on a mission to magnify authentic love and foster true connection for longterm partnerships.

My Story

With a 50% divorce rate, choosing to embark on the road of marriage is an act of bravery or sheer stupidity! There is no middle ground.

To overcome the challenges that a lifelong relationship will inevitably face, couples need to have support and be committed to continuing to invest in making their partnership a priority. 


Loving with our whole heart is the most courageous choice we will ever make.
