Even as a boy, Dr. Tim Young was moved by the overwhelming impact that divorce was having on American families; divorce was becoming sadly common. As a Bible and Psychology major at Abilene Christian University, Dr. Young discovered his passion for helping husbands and wives effectively respond to the challenges of marriage. He had an intense desire to help struggling families recapture victory. He went on to Texas Tech University where he completed a Family Studies program and was awarded an M.S., and later a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy.
