Author Biography
Michael & Amy Smalley Michael and Amy specialize in teaching couples the principles of loving well and loving for a lifetime. Their popularity as nationally renowned relationship experts quickly grew through their straightforward, no-nonsense advice, and humor. Their love story began while they were undergraduates at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Michael's love for Amy was immediate, but Amy, however, took some more convincing. So Michael went to the ends of the earth (by becoming a college male cheerleader because Amy was on the Baylor Yell-Leading squad) to finally win her over. After graduation, they went on to earn master's degrees in clinical psychology from Wheaton College in Chicago, Illinois. Michael finished his Ph.D. at Barnham Theological Seminary. They currently serve as co-founders of the Smalley Institute. Their popular Pursue Intensive for Couples is currently in eight locations across the United States. The centers help couples reignite their marriage in just two days. The Smalley's have enjoyed 24 years of marriage and have three children Cole, Reagan, and David.
