Eric and Marissa

We don't fight. We have disagreements and then we breathe and share why we're upset. We listen. We're breaking the cycle.

How did your love story begin?

We've always been connected. As kids we went to the same NJ school and didn't know each other. As teens in PA, we were only 30 mins away from each other. As adults, we started working at the same company and finally ran into each other in August of 2007. We were setup by a coworker and together ever since!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

The moment our 3rd child was born! Our son passed in 2016 and we were thankful for our two girls. THEN, when we were blessed to be pregnant a third time, the doctors warned us she would have a genetic disorder or a heart defect or this or that. One time they wouldn't confirm she had a right hand! The moment she was born healthy and perfect, the two of us just felt so relieved and connected after everything we'd been through.

What would you do with $20,000?

Redo my kitchen!!!
