Meet your presenters
Hi. We’re Paul & Shannon Elmore. We’ve been happily married for almost 30 years. Here’s why we can help you and your marriage.
For 18 years I (Paul) was a professional counselor. I’ve shown more than a thousand men, women, and couples how to master the fundamental skills of connection, communication, and conflict resolution so they can enjoy a healtheir relationship.
I’ve taken what I’ve learned throughout my career and written two relationship books helping husbands learn how to understand and love their wives better.
Together, Shannon and I produce the Secure Marriage podcast where we share our own relationship failures and successes and how we use the Relationship Roadmap tools on a daily basis to help us stay connected.
