Grace Marriage

Marriage is a gift, but thriving in it requires intentional effort. When couples devote time, energy, and creativity to their relationship, they can transform it into something truly life-giving.

Through Grace Marriage, couples will regularly assess, engage, and grow together, gaining a clear understanding of where their marriage stands and where it’s headed. More than a program, it’s an ongoing journey and a roadmap toward healthy, Christ-centered marriages.

 Grace Marriage is a ministry designed to enrich, protect, and grow your marriage. It represents an intentional commitment to nurture your relationship with your spouse and the Lord. You'll meet with other couples and a trained facilitator couple in a small group setting, but the primary emphasis remains on your relationship with your spouse, with dedicated private time for reflection and discussion.

 This intentional, proactive approach focuses on the positives in your relationship. Grace Marriage is proactive, ongoing marriage discipleship with an emphasis on one-on-one discussion between spouses. It is not counseling, group therapy, or a setting where you will be forced to share deeply personal information or air "dirty laundry".
