About the Instructor
His parents divorced and remarried one another before he was born. His parents, again, legally separated when he was 10 years old and reunited one year later. It was a relationship with lots of love and challenges.
Dr. Rumsey has been in a relationship over 30 years, and they have five grown children. It’s been really good and really painful. During certain seasons, it has felt impossible to continue on. At other times, being apart has seemed unimaginable.
With a Ph.D. emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy, and over 30 years of counseling couples, men & women, Dr. Rumsey brings approximately 80,000 hours of observations, experiments, and takeaways from these intimate conversations to bear on this absolutely one-of-a-kind training guide for couples - specifically, you two - to listen and talk to one another.
