My name is Sarah Wignall. I am in the first year of the Couple and Family Masters Program.  I was drawn to this program initially with an interest of working with couples, but am finding my work with children to be very rewarding.  I have been married for almost 20 years; the information we have been exposed to just in the first week of HDF 505 is fascinating for me to think about through the lens of a long term committed relationship. I am not sure where my professional path will lead, but I do still believe that a happy family has to begin with a happy couple. Therefore, I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss issues that our society tends to be sensitive about but are vital to a thriving relationship.
