”We are so happy to be married and living our lives together with the Lord! Right Start was a wonderful experience that helped us explore topics that we have discussed before in our dating relationship but on a deeper level with questions that we would not have thought of on our own. We made friends with several other couples in our class that we still keep in touch with today. Thank you so much for helping us go through Right Start. It was a true blessing to be a part of!
