"People often ask what inspired me to dedicate nearly 30 years of my professional life to helping marriages. The answer comes from my original career path as a mental health clinic co-owner/supervisor and a school district student-support director.
"As I counseled families and provided support groups for thousands of children and teens, an important fact was evident: My efforts to help were only putting "Band-Aids" on their wounds. You see, their issues seemed to begin with a home life where mom and dad were not prioritizing their marital relationship.
"One impacting memory was when children and teens, too many to count, would cry and share their hearts in a support group called "Family Change" (aka, "My Parents are Getting a Divorce and I'm in PAIN Because of It" group). My heart would break hearing their thoughts of blaming themselves, fear for their future relationships, anger toward their parents, and ultimately a feeling that their world was out-of-control and meaningless.
"Although I started my career wanting to work with children and families primarily as a licensed psychologist, my path changed and heart-felt compassion led me to a dedication to marriage education and developing the Four Gifts of Love® Class material. This choice was also made easier because of my father, Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., who made the same choice over 50-years ago. Together, we have developed the materials on this site and co-authored books.
"The Four Gifts of Love® Class material represents over 15 years of curriculum development and empirical research, with over 1000 couples from a variety of cultures completing the class."
