And while we have a great marriage today, we struggled in our early years. We often laugh about the fact that those 45 years were probably the 35 happiest years of our lives. We know the pain of “being alone together” and feeling like we were losing hope during a rough time in our marriage. We have grown into becoming absolute best friends and life mates with 2 married daughters, wonderful son-in-laws, and 5 awesome grandkids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea8597be92c011f440e57b/1596133731598-GVJ2DYYJT8L2KZXALPZF/faith-based-dicernment-counseling-minneapolis-mn.jpg About - Meet John Torkelson, MA, LMFt John is a graduate of Bethel Seminary receiving a Masters of Divinity in 2009 and a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2011.
