Meet Our Team!
Ashida Onrae, Founder and CEO
As the Founder and CEO of The Marriage Movement, she created the company to provide a fun and exciting place for engaged/married couples to receive a wealth of information on important topics to help improve couples relationships before and during marriage.
As a motivational speaker and entrepreneur, Ashida’s goal is to inspire others through her personal journey. Her passion for life, along with her candid humor about her own marital pitfalls, has led many to seek out her advice and insight.
In 2002, when Ashida was planning her wedding, she realized that she and her fiancé didn’t have the knowledge that would provide them with the tools to handle the many obstacles that they were up against; such as dealing with finances, communication, intimacy, family, emotional health and more. In preparation, they went to pre-marital counseling. However, it wasn’t until after her marriage failed that she realized that some of the key factors that led to her marriage ending were not taught to her in pre-marital counseling.
Sharing her own incredible story as a testimony, she speaks on how she overcame her fears, a broken heart and a failed marriage by putting her plan into action; she began the healing process and most importantly the forgiveness process.
Unfortunately, many couples enter into a marriage unprepared and really haven’t taken the time to consider the obstacles that may lie ahead. Getting married isn’t just about the wedding; it’s about your life together, as one, after saying, “I Do”.
From Ms. Onrae’s personal experiences, The Marriage Movement was born.
