We started Coached 2 Love with the goal of building stronger families.  We have identified a simple remedy for most of our global issues, which is the inappropriate definition or application of love, starting with self.  Therefore, we believe that as we help others identify what love looks like, then help those persons convert the definition into practical steps, we will begin to see positive changes.

Our second focus involves helping people make better choices regarding the person they will date to marry.  Notice the focal point of the latter goal: marriages.  Unfortunately, we have encountered too many couples that shared a wedding goal, but had no idea of what to look forward to after their special day.  The consequence of the narrow vision is a unmentionable epidemic of broken families.

One of our practical steps in helping others look through the wedding event into marriage is providing a list of thought provoking questions.  Below we have provided a sample from our self directed questionnaire, which we believe individuals and couples should engage, before they even ask or answer (B.Y.E.A.) the wedding proposal.  We do not consider our questionnaire to be an exhaustive list.  However, we hope our complete list will motivate couples to go off the track and ask even more involved questions, of themselves and the parties involved in the relationship that would have otherwise been overlooked.
