Bobby and Christi Aborn
Bobby and Christi Aborn have been married for 28 years and make their home in Steubenville, Ohio. Their journey together began as an active duty military family with the U.S. Air Force, which took them to various locations across the United States and overseas. Both Bobby and Christi hold theology degrees from Franciscan University of Steubenville, a place that holds a special significance in their lives. Christi currently works full-time for the university, while Bobby owns and operates his own financial planning practice. A graduate of the Franciscan University School of Spiritual Direction, Christi also shares her expertise as an instructor for new spiritual direction students.
Their shared passion is their Catholic faith and a deep commitment to sharing the love of Jesus with others. For the past 18 years, they have poured their hearts into pre-marriage preparation and marriage coaching, focusing on personal mentorship to help couples thrive within the Sacrament of Matrimony. Beyond their faith, Bobby and Christi enjoy traveling, cheering on their favorite sports teams, and spending quality time with their faithful 10-year-old Australian Shepherd, Remy.
