Richard Rupp, M.Div., MFT, is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a private practice in Pasadena, CA. A graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, Rick has also taught as an adjunct professor on Psychotherapy with Men. He co-authored the book, What Wives Wish their Husbands Knew about Sex: A Guide for Christian Men (Baker Books). He speaks to men's retreats and marriage conferences on men's issues, sex and romance, and grace-filled marriages. His counseling practice helps men and women find the most excellent way to love. Since his early work as a Youth Pastor in the Philippines, Rick has had a heart for the needs of teenagers.
