Marriage Training for Churches

Ready to Wed

Many engaged couples step into marriage unprepared for the challenges ahead. Churches want to help, but often lack the right tools to guide them. Ready to Wed is a faith-based premarital curriculum that blends biblical truth, practical skills, and expert insight to help couples build a strong foundation. It equips church leaders and mentors to walk engaged couples through essential conversations before they say “I do.”

Marriage 911

Nearly one out of four Christian couples are struggling in their marriage. They often turn to their church for answers, yet many churches lack the resources these couples so desperately need. Marriage 911 is a faith-based mentoring program that incorporates biblical teaching, time-tested principles, and counselor-approved practices to guide mature Christians as they mentor hurting couples.

Marriage Champions

You don’t have to be a marriage expert to make a difference in another couple’s lives. Your experience and marriage story can bless others — all it takes is a willingness to invest. Invest in your own marriage and then take that experience and invest in another couple’s marriage.
