About the Author

Thank you for checking out Engaged Marriage!

My name is Dustin, and I am basically just a normal guy.  I am an engineer by trade, and I try to be a good husband and a mostly patient Dad to our two great kids (and one on the way!).

My life is pretty typical for a 30-year old family man these days with a hectic schedule and the demands that come with balancing a wife, kids, a career, a mortgage, church, community service, tee ball practice, my daughter’s tea parties and the occasional beer or round of golf with my buddies.

So why would I spend any of my scarce free time writing a blog about marriage?  Well, I have come to know first-hand the challenges and, more importantly, the amazing rewards that a great marriage provides.

I love my marriage, and I don’t want that part of my life to be normal.  When it comes to the most important relationship in our lives, normal sucks.

Where’s Some Marriage Advice that Actually Applies to MY Life?

As I have searched for answers to my own questions, I have discovered a lack of information geared toward those who need it most: younger couples working through the critical early years of their marriage.  I am anxious to share with you a plethora of information and resources, and I sincerely hope you can benefit from and share in my enthusiasm for the state of matrimony.

One final note: My wife and I are proud members of the Catholic faith, so my views of marriage and life in general are in part shaped through that perspective.  Our faith fuels our passion for our own marriage, and it was our involvement in the Church that called me down a path that led to Engaged Marriage.  That said, the information shared here is universally applicable, and I trust you will find it helpful regardless of your particular faith life (or lack thereof).

Together, let’s get beyond the ordinary life of a “normal” marriage and take it to the next level…let’s get Engaged in our relationships and build an awesome Marriage!
