The Story Behind Our Couple’s T-Shirts
 

In our 57 plus years of marriage and enjoying our golden years
of the 80”s, we still had a heartbeat and passion for reaching married couples. It is something we enjoy and have been engaged in since
we married in 1968. From Gala Events, Conferences and Creative happenings for couples this has been our lifestyle and God-given Assignment.

 

Having each other, thru the various seasons and challenges
on life’s journey, it takes the two of us to make it thru Good/Bad,
Happy/Sad, Ups/downs and Smiles/Frowns.  Having one another
in prayer, types of intimacy, conversation, and being intentional
to keep our love alive, we understand it takes the two of us together, we “can’t have one without the other.” God and his infinite plan for mankind
was that Man and Woman become one flesh. (Husband and Wife)

Mark 10:8

 

A DIVINE DESIGN
Little did we realize that still doing what we loved to do, reaching
out to married couples, was about to become a new season for us. It seemed that age didn’t matter, God still had a Divine Design for us.
Creativity and imagination seemed to explode as we began designing Couples T-Shirts.  Yet, little did we know that we would have a business
of designing t-shirts and a store……

 

CAN’T’ HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER
 

The words “Can’t Have One Without the Other” is more than a saying.
It’s a real truth when it comes to couples. Like Teamwork in a couple’s relationship, it takes togetherness, both each doing their part, to be successful. 
Likewise, our “Can’t Have One Without the Other” T-Shirts are designed to go together. While one shirt has its own message, so does the other one. However, the message is not complete and may not make sense if not seen together. They will absolutely, encourage, enhance, inspire, motivate and cause the oohs awes and fun and laughter. When you wear your T-Shirts as couples you are making a statement: Can’t Have One Without the Other.

Gatherings at Home

From the start of our marriage, our home was open. Prayer, fellowship, meals, and hope flowed from our table into the lives of friends and strangers alike.

Time Out for Marriage
 

With a dream to strengthen marriages, we launched events filled with joy, music, and workshops. Couples discovered that love could last a lifetime."

How It Began
 

​The Reach became official a name that embraced creativity, storytelling, and outreach to every soul. Arts and Creative Happenings began to explode beyond boundaries..

Media Expansion
 

From radio waves to YouTube reels, stories of hope and marriages filled the air. Our voice expanded to touch lives far beyond our neighborhood.

On and Poppin,
Ain’t No Stoppin

 

​57+ years of marriage and still reaching.
Our heartbeat is stronger than ever, creating tools like our ‘Can’t Have One Without the Other’ T-shirt sets for couples to wear their love.
