We offer 3 options that prepare engaged couples for marriage:
Countdown
Marriage Prep
SIX WEEKS CLASS
PLUS A RETREAT
The Six Weeks Class covers six sessions in a small group setting [4-8 couples] at the leader's home. It concludes with a weekend retreat. This is a relaxed weekend consisting of time as a group and as a couple.
Weekender
[retreat only]
The Weekender is a condensed version of the Six Weeks Class consisting of time as a group and as a couple during a weekend retreat. Before and after the retreat a couple will work through some of the sections in the workbook alone.
one-on-one
We highly recommend the six weeks class or the Weekender, but if scheduling doesn't permit, then we offer one-on-one sessions with a leader, mentor, etc. These can be done remotely via video conferencing if needed.
