The Story
Marriage Counselors Deona and David Frierson are passionate about the success of every marriage. The Excellent Marriage was formed from a deep desire of Deona M. Frierson, MSW, LCSW, to prepare engaged couples and assist married couples with having The Excellent Marriage. As a Licensed Therapist, Deona mentioned to David she wanted to specialize in working with couples using Imago Relationship Therapy. However, what David didn’t know was as a prerequisite that he would eventually have to work on his marriage with Deona. Hence, the requirement had to be completed before she could become a Certified Marriage and Relationship Therapist. David grudgingly participated so Deona could achieve her goal of helping couples. While improving their marriage, David absolutely enjoyed the experience and had the desire to train. Most noteworthy, He now had the same desire for couples as Deona. As a result, they both work collectively under The Excellent Marriage with the goal of keeping marriage fun, fulfilling and most of all excellent.
