Christopher D. Felder and Cynthia D. Felder Marriage Mentoring Introduction
There certainly is extreme hype and hope these days on weddings. A Google search of bridal websites garners results of about 13.800 million and about 96.1 million for weddings. Nuptial “reality” shows are the rage with Say Yes to the Dress (TLC), My Fair Wedding (WE/TV), Four Weddings (TLC), I Found the Gown (TLC), and let’s tip a hat to the Bridezillas (WE/TV) which has merited entry into Webster’s Dictionary to define hilariously hysterical and overly-demanding brides. Ring selections, the proposal, engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelor parties, wedding planners, bridal and brides-maids dresses, groom and groom court rentals, venues, officiators, travel bookings, caterers, flowers, musicians, photographers, and more add up to considerable investments into this [prayerful] one-time event.
For Christopher D. Felder and Cynthia D. Felder, the pomp, splendor and financial outlay into their wedding day are loving memories. But, now, after 13 years, what they are known for most, is how much they consistently and wisely invest into their marriage. You can’t be around Christopher and Cynthia as a couple or even individually without being inspired by what they give to each other and what they give to others.
It is often said that marriage is a 50/50 proposition. The Felders believe otherwise. To them, each of you should be at 100% and be willing to pick up the extra slack should your partner fall short at a given time.
Getting to know the Felders you quickly learn their philosophy on happily investing 100% [or more] of themselves into their marriage is the real deal. As spouses, parents, business partners, and above all—BFFs, Christopher and Cynthia forever protect their investment. This means like a jeweler, chipping away at a rough diamond, they are working to bring out its finest qualities. The Felders know, it takes special tools and skills to assure the best results. They know, that a marriage, like a diamond, the work is worth the investment.
My Marriage is Worth the Investment is more than a T-shirt slogan to Christopher and Cynthia; they know about investing. In their business partnership, the Felders have put their shoulders to the wheel, their finances on the line, and invested time and sweat-equity to several entrepreneurial endeavors. The marriage they invest so very much in shares its gains with their community through educational opportunities, job-training and creation. Almost immediately upon opening their doors to the Long Island Barber Institute (LIBI), now known as the Barber Beauty Institute of New York (BBINY), Christopher and Cynthia were instantly reputed to be Long Island’s POWER COUPLE.
Together they worked in harmony, not just for their success but for the success and security of their students, their employees, and their community. Their marriage took on a new investment—people.
Being partners in business presents challenges they meet with the same fortitude they commit to their marriage. Business owners, property owners, employers, community activists; the Felders are busy but happy campers! Their message about investing in your marriage
