About Us

Brian GardnerHi our names are Ryan and Cassie and we are the creators of this site. We created this site because we feel there is a lack of commitment, personal responsibility and willingness to make marriage work. It seems that divorce has become the easy way out and is actually acceptable. Before we get into that we would like to share a little about ourselves. Cassie is a kindergarten grade teacher and over the last year has become quite the endurance athlete! Ryan is a piping designer within the oil and gas industry and is working towards his lifelong goal of becoming a professional triathlete.
What is True Agape?
True:
1. being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact
2. real; genuine; authentic
3. sincere; not deceitful
4. firm in allegiance; loyal; faithful; steadfast
Agape:

We have created this site as a resource, a place to allow us to learn and a catalyst for growth. It’s our sincere hope that this resource will not only help our relationship, but that it will inspire other young Christian newlywed couples to take responsibility, stay committed and create a marriage that will stand the test of time.
