Forging Life


Empowering couples to forge a happier, healthier marriage together.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment meant to bring joy and fulfillment, creating a lifetime of love and partnership.

This is the kind of bond every couple hopes for. Marriage presents its own set of hurdles, but it also offers the chance to grow stronger together.

Challenges in a marriage:

  • Communication breakdown
  • Unresolved conflict
  • Financial issues
  • Lack of intimacy
  • Unmet expectations

You may not have received the guidance you needed to navigate those challenges in your relationship, causing you to unconsciously revert to the way your parents handled similar situations or even start shutting down and doing nothing.

You Have Come to The Right Place

If you’re married:

  • Seeking to improve marriage and enhance your overall well-being.
  • Value investing in your relationship, personal growth, and communication.
  • Looking to strengthen the bond with your spouse.

Then, with the right tools and strategies, you have the opportunity to have an amazing relationship together!

Hey! I’m Trey Ryder, the founder of Forging Life.

As a veteran of the military, my wife and I have encountered numerous challenges throughout our 19 years of marriage. We grappled with the difficulties of maintaining a strong mental and emotional connection despite being physically present for each other. Our communication was crap, and we faced significant financial struggles. The family was always second to the military and when my service was unexpectedly cut short, I realized the need for personal growth to better serve the family With a growing family of 5 children, I set out on a journey to improve myself in order to better support my wife and children. Drawing from our experiences and leveraging insights from research and educational courses, I am committed to using my knowledge to help others have a happier and healthier marriage. Now, I continue focusing on growth to continue sharing with others, strive being the best husband and father I can be, volunteer at the local fire department, and continue formal education in business.
