Is your marriage working for you?

Most people (rich or poor, male or female, and regardless of cultural background) want fulfilling, lasting marriages. However, 40-50 percent of marriages will end in divorce. The rate is higher for second marriages, especially those with children.

Even marriages in which there are strong religious convictions experience these same divorce rates. Catholics, for example, divorce at the same rate as the general population.

People with deeply held convictions that marriage is a life-long commitment often do not have the necessary interpersonal skills to make their marriages work.

Marriage counseling is helpful, but studies indicate that counseling and therapy are inadequate because they focus on ingrained patterns that are difficult to change.

We offer marriage education and coaching, not counseling.

Marriage education gives couples the skills to address behavior that can be changed while becoming aware of the deeper issues that cause problems.

Work on your marriage
and your marriage will work!

We offer these levels of marriage education and coaching:

The Marriage Jackpot

This is a free one-hour introductory session to the Work on Your Marriage education and coaching sessions. The Marriage Jackpot is ideal for anyone, with or without a spouse (including pastors, business owners and corporate human resource directors) who wants to learn about the enormous benefits they will receive by investing in building successful marriages.

Level I – The Amazing Gift of Your Marriage

This workshop includes 12 one-hour sessions designed to help couples develop better skills at speaking and listening to one another so as to deepen friendship, fun, spirituality, and romance in the marriage. (Christian and secular options available.)

Level II- The Grace and Labor of Christian Marriage

In six two-hour sessions, we help couples build an authentic Christian spirituality in their marriage.

Level III – Growing Old Together

Six two-hour sessions help couples build the intimacy and trust necessary to carry them into their “golden years.”
