Sometimes during our sessions, I enjoy playing word association games with my couples. I asked Andrew, what is the first word you think of when I say "Alicia"...his response was, "gift". You guys, could there be a better response? Could there be a better way for a man to think of his partner other than a precious gift? To be treasured, and adored and loved in such a meaningful way? These two captured my heart during this session, and I can wait for the GIFT of their wedding at the beautiful Vizcaya this Spring.
