Event Logistics Coordinators
Sylvia and Eddie Robertson
We are Eddie and Sylvia Robertson.We have participated in marriage enrichment since being invited to our first group in Calgary, Alberta, in 1976. Our first mail in Georgia was from the group now known as Better Marriages of Georgia. In our years as leaders and leader trainers, we have been privileged to have couples share with us the triumphs and trials of their marriage journeys. Their authenticity has touched our hearts and encouraged us to deal with similar issues in our own lives. They have helped us to grow, and we are still growing. We continue to be intrigued with the idea of intentionally growing our marriage.

Communications Couple
Nathan and Kim Heinlein
Kim and Nathan Heinlein have been married for over 20 years, and have been active with Better Marriages since 2003, starting only 8 months after they were married. In fact, Nathan had the privilege of growing up watching lifetime Better Marriages members Roberta and Terry Heinlein model what a “better marriage” looks like. Kim and Nathan’s purpose is to repay that favor by modeling marriage growth for others.
Kim is an industrial engineer turned middle school science teacher, while Nathan is a forensic structural engineer. They are most proud of their two teenaged sons. They enjoy travel, baseball, and consequently travel baseball with their boys.
