We had a great time and the information that was shared, has been in our relationship and helping us communicate much better than before. Thank you Doug and Sissy, and God Bless 🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

cs, financial overview, love languages, and communication. I learned how my finance thinks with his "waffle" mind set and how my "spaghetti" mind set can drive him crazy. I would highly recommend this course to newly engaged or committed couples. You will learn something you did not know about each, I can guarantee it.

al for him. Led to a good dialogue between us and is definitely a good foundation for our upcoming marriage and life.

conflict on topics that once seemed impossible to fix. Thanks for really opening our hearts and eyes to what our potential relationship could become and how to truly work as a team. I highly recommend seeking out Doug & Sissy for help through anything and to prepare you for any storm.

our marriage off on the right path.

ridal Extravaganza Summer 2018. While I was searching, we were subscribed to them and received an email about an upcoming date. The price was ONLY $35 just to register for an 8-hour session...and honestly, it was WELL WORTH it. My fiance didn't even know until the day of we would get a $60 fee off our marriage license (which is just an added bonus). By surprise, we were actually the only couple there, and Doug and Sissy really were hospitable, kind, and were passionate about what they are doing. It felt like we had our own personal session. We recommend this to any newly engaged couples, married couples, and even couples who are pursuing each other. Although it was an 8-hour session, the time went fairly quick and we each gained a new perspective on the mind of a male/female and of our relationship. There is so much I can say about this couple and the pre-marital session, but it is different when you actually experience it. Even in arguments now, we really try to include what we were taught in this session. Which really has helped our communication with each other and how fast to get out of the "crazy cycle." Don't know what that is? You will when you go to counseling with them! :) Thanks again so much for your support in our relationship and our marriage. We are truly grateful we took this class.

felt we needed a little bit more guidance they set up another meeting to discuss some concerns.

all level of service and the experience provided.

that actually happen to us on a daily basis. Doug and Sissy genuinely care about each participant and helping them have the best marriage they can. We have applied what we learned during the class many time this week to our daily lives and we are beyond thankful for their guidance and wisdom. No Plan B!

communication, listening habits and relationship. I would highly recommend all couples to take these valuable classes with Pitcher Ministries.

nd lessons learned. We both left feeling like our toolbox was full and ready to help us build our foundation and future.

hey are very warm and authentic people!

person all in one. This class really taught me to change my perspective on the things that I didn't understand before. I recommend everyone taking a pre-marriage prep course because even though it's all fun now there will be times where it will be hard BUT you will be prepared.

them was fantastic! I highly recommend them if you're looking to do pre-marital counseling. I've detailed my full experience below: I found Doug & Sissy Pitcher when looking for a premarital course my fiance and I could do. My fiance was a bit hesitant at first, but after I told him couples have a 31% better chance of staying married if they do premarital counseling he agreed to an introductory phone call with Sissy. Sissy gave us a call and discussed their program options. They have 2 pre-marital courses they offer. The first one is "Together in Texas" (I think that's the name of it). This is more like a couples one day seminar where you go over various aspects of how to maintain a strong marriage. The 2nd course they offer is a SYMBIS assessment course. SYMBIS stands for Save your marriage before it starts. It's an assessment that you and your partner take seperately that generates a 15 page report, and then you have a facilitated session to review your results with Sissy and Doug. The sessions can be broken up into 2 x 3 hr sessions or 3 x 2 hr sessions. We chose to do the SYMBIS course, as we wanted something tailored specifically to us as a couple and our relationship. It was a bit pricey, but we figured if we're willing to spend x amount of dollars for a wedding, we should be willing to invest in our relationship regardless of the cost. The assessment itself was very personality and relationship based. To be honest, it was a lot tougher than I thought, it makes you think of aspects of your life you usually don't think about, but it was extremely thorough. We didn't get the results directly, they're sent to Sissy and Doug and then you go over each page 1 by 1 in the facilitated session. The sessions with Doug and Sissy were fantastic! They were extremely personable, realistic (they don't sugar coat things), and gave great examples on how to implement aspects of the assessment into our relationship. Be prepared to get personal in your conversations as they want to make this as tailored to you as possible- I ended up walking away from the session not only with a great foundation of how to make our marriage successful, but knowing what I needed to work on with myself. Even my hesitant fiance loved it and raved about how happy he was that I pushed him to do it. I can't say enough great things about our sessions with Doug & Sissy, and walked away from our sessions feeling even closer to my fiance and confident in our marriage. Be prepared to discuss: your relationship style and your fiance's relationship style, red flags in your life to be aware of, how to communicate with your partner effectively, how to make your partner feel loved, tough topics (money, sex, etc) and how to communicate those issues so they don't result in a blow up/fight, how to manage your partner in intense situations, etc. (Like I said, it's super thorough). One thing I will mention is that Doug & Sissy are faith based, so the conversations will discuss Bible verses, have prayers, etc. (my fiance and I aren't super religious, but I will say I did enjoy this part b/c I feel like it brought us both closer to God and each other). Overall I strongly recommend anyone wanting to do pre-marital courses before their wedding to speak with Doug & Sissy!

n was very interactive. We feel it was a positive step to do prior to being married. By following the tools they provided we can be more successful at tackling conflict as it arises, as well as planning for a better financial future. Another important part was self reflecting so that you work on resolving past issues and not bring them into your marriage. On average, we take classes to learn about our careers and hobbies, seldom do we take time and invest in our own personal relationship skills. We confidently recommend anyone in a relationship, not just a marriage to attend their class. There is a religious context in the class, however even if you are not religious, the elements can be correlated to being a morally sound person and good ethical guidelines to live by.

tacted them in search of an officiant for our wedding (which they do not specialize in) and weeks after our initial conversation they sent me a personalized email asking if we'd be interested in this course. We learned a lot about ourselves and each other from Sissy & Doug, including skills that will stay with us through the future.

as allowed us to work through things now instead of them surfacing later on. Great couple and great information, you won't regret spending the time and money to invest in your marriage.

with Doug and Sissy is a wonderful investment in building a solid foundation for a healthy, lasting marriage. My fiance and I completed the course with other wonderful couples desiring to be equipped with the tools to build and maintain a healthy, loving, lasting marriage. Doug and Sissy are very passionate about helping others to have just that. They exemplify Love and Compassion. We are grateful for this course and are looking forward to implementing the things we learned in our future marriage. I highly recommend this course to all engaged and soon to be engaged couples. It's a priceless investment. Doug and Sissy we can't thank you enough. Thank you again for your passion, compassion, and dedication to building healthy, loving, lasting marriages. #NoPlanB #LoveIsAChoice #IChooseToLoveHim #HeChoosesToLoveMe #TWOgether

skills. It’s the type of thing that everyone should do in order to be better prepared for a lifetime commitment. I do not feel this was a waste of time at all.

s, and the Pitchers were amazing facilitators! We immediately felt comfortable with them. They were very personable, and they made the sessions fun while helping us learn and grow as a couple. Doug and Sissy went above and beyond by spending extra time than was allotted for all three of our sessions. They prayed for us and really invested in us. We are thankful that the Pitchers were part of our relationship journey, and I would recommend them to any couple seeking to strengthen their relationship and prepare for a future together.

y gave us great examples from real couples. We took the Twogether in Texas course and were not dissapointed! We will be going back to them to do the SYMBIS assessment!

comes with it! Together we are continuously growing in Christ and these two wonderful people have been nothing but blessings on this journey. I personally come from a family of broken marriages with no real guide to what a healthy marriage looks like. Doug and Elizabeth have helped us see marriage through a different lens enabled me to set an example for the next generation of my family. Together they have guided us through different challenges - from language barriers to individual insecurities - and we have become stronger and closer to God as a result. I truly believe God strategically put Doug and Elizabeth Pitcher in our lives and I am forever grateful.

godly insight is worth investing your time. So happy to have them pouring into our lives.

one!

as been beneficial to so many. I recommend these two to anyone and everyone I meet!

to educating and equipping couples with tools for a successful marriage. They also share their personal experiences (the good, the bad, what works and what doesn’t, etc) which makes spending time with them a genuine good time and fun learning experience! Thanks for what you do!

venant with each other. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
