LauraMaery Gold

Dr. LauraMaery Gold is a licensed marriage and family therapist living in a 17th-century castle outside Paris. She's the author of many books on parenting, family finances, practical religion, and personal technology. She holds multiple advanced degrees and certifications in family counseling, personal finance, and law.

Dr. Gold and her husband Dan Post are the parents of seven children and believe they may hold some sort of world record for being the longest-married (and most happily-married) couple to have met online -- back before the Internet was even a thing.

She blogs regularly at AlliedFamilyTherapy.com and at TheRelationship.institute, the home of her new series of books on relationship communication.
