Rev. Marty Younkin, affectionally known as "Minister Marty, the Marryin' Man," has tied the knot for thousands of couples for almost 50 years. He has a Masters of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He served as a Singles Pastor for many years until he worked himself out of a job by marrying off the singles and turning them into couples. Rev. Younkin is the Founder and Executive Director of LoveNotes DFW Clergy Services in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. LoveNotes is a highly respected organization of non-denominational ministers who provide ministerial services for weddings, vow renewals, memorial services, baptisms, children dedications, quincea�eras and counseling. Marty is married to his bride and best friend, Carol Sage-Younkin, with whom he collaborated in writing this book. They have three children and live in the Dallas metroplex. Marty's favorite quote on the definition of a perfect marriage: "A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other. If you are not connecting on a daily basis with your spouse, you are exchanging a soul mate for a room mate. I will remember always that marriage, like life, is a journey, not a destination, and that its treasures are found not just at the end, but all along the way." See less
