Maximizing Your Most Important Relationships – Marriage, Family & God.

Welcome to Doing Family Right

We offer Faith-Based Counselling and Seminars for Individuals, Couples & Families in the Fraser Valley & Beyond.
Doing Family Right was birthed to help people maximize these most important relationships – marriage, family and God. We are driven by the desire to provide trusted counselling based on practical life principles anchored in time-tested, Biblical truth. We care for individuals, couples and families who want to do all their relationships right – God’s way. We launched with the vision of making a difference in homes across the nation and the world.

Founded by Dr. Dave & Donalyn Currie in January 2010, Doing Family Right has grown beyond our Care Centres. We now offer an array of dynamic and engaging live seminars and a ton of insightful and practical resources on our website to transform your life, build your marriage and strengthen your family.

What Clients Are Saying

Are You Struggling with These Challenges?

We care for many types of clients. It can be an individual, couple, or family facing relational or emotional struggles or someone who values spiritual alignment and wants biblically-grounded guidance through their issues. Or a person seeking hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges; and couples longing to strengthen their marriage or recover from betrayal. And we serve parents facing child-rearing issues desiring to lead their family well through difficult seasons. Below are the three seasons of life that many of our clients find themselves in – are you experiencing something similar?
