We’re Kevin and Joy Decker. We are helping thousands of people learn the relationship skills they need to have great relationships and Healthy, Wealthy, and Hot marriages. Happier couples means happier families.
Our dream is to help children learn a model for a healthy marriage by helping their parents to have rich, exciting marriages today. We are helping make a happier world one marriage at a time.
We believe that you can create a Healthy, Wealthy, and Hot marriage. Some marriages may take a little bit of work and some will take a lot. We believe that all marriages have their ups and downs (including ours) and one of the keys is accepting that fact, celebrating the ups, and working through the downs. We believe the upside of a great marriage pays off in being healthier, wealthier and definitely hotter. And a happy marriage makes for happy kids who in their turn can create happy marriages of their own because they’ve seen how it works.
We believe you can overcome a family history of dysfunction and divorce.
We are passionate about sharing our experiences to help you have a great marriage. We are not counselors or psychologists. We believe in God. We believe that great marriages require commitment and communication.
We believe you too can have a great marriage. Join us in our journey toward healthy, wealthy, and hot!
As creators of the Healthy, Wealthy, and Hot Marriage System we teach, coach, and share with couples the processes, strategies, and skills we, and they, can use to create loving, passionate, and long lasting marriages.

* Kevin’s dad has been married 6 times.
* Joy’s parents have been happily married over 50 years.

Despite these contrasting backgrounds we constantly work together to improve our marriage. Again, we are not counselors, but we are coaches and we work with other couples to help them improve their marriages.
