Why Couples Trust Us
We’re Alduan and Mecca Tartt, and at the heart of everything we do is a simple passion: helping couples build marriages that actually thrive—not just survive.
We’ve lived this journey ourselves. As husband and wife raising children together, we know firsthand how much work, patience, and faith it takes to protect love and keep it growing. That’s why we’ve dedicated our lives to pouring into other couples.
Through our marriage retreat, A Weekend For Love, we’ve had the privilege of impacting thousands of couples across the country. Whether we’re speaking at churches nationwide, working with couples in our private practice, or teaching inside vibrant communities, our mission is always the same—to give couples tools they can use every day to stay connected emotionally, spiritually, and practically.
What makes our approach different is that it’s not just theory. Alduan brings the depth of being a licensed clinical psychologist, minister, and relationship specialist, while Mecca brings the insight of a wife, mother, and leader who knows what it feels like to juggle real life and marriage. Together, we teach not only from expertise, but from lived experience.
We believe marriages flourish when couples are equipped with wisdom, faith, and a supportive community that cheers them on. That’s exactly what we strive to create every time we connect with couples—whether on stage, in a workshop, or one-on-one.
