A little bit about “Us”
Facilitating Workshops
Working as a power-couple, Corie and her husband, a US military chaplain, have provided countless weekend marriage retreats for military couples and relationship retreats for single soldiers. As a part of an initiative to encourage more marriages to develop and maintain healthy, balanced marriages, Matthew and Corie were followed by the USO for the “You’re Leaving Again?” Series. Couples from around the globe joined the free study and have found great improvements in their intimacy and connection. This curriculum was written during their own deployment and is perfect for military couples who face separation frequency. As a Gallup Faith Strengths Advisor, she has traveled all over the world investing in individuals and teams who desire to know and excel in their relationships, influence, purpose, and productivity using the Gallup StrengthsFinder inventory. She is regularly invited to military events and retreats as a speaker.
