Run The Marriage Course

This is an easy-to-run, practical, seven-session course that supports couples who want practical support to strengthen their relationship. No expertise is needed to run it. You may have experience working on your own marriage, or you are passionate about strengthening marriages and families in your community. You don’t need to be married to run The Marriage Course, but we recommend having a married couple on hand for support.

What you need to run The Marriage Course:

The Marriage Course DVD or free downloadable videos, with designated breaks for conversations.

Download on the Marriage Course Builder.

Leaders’ guide with clear instructions on how to host your course.

Download on the Marriage Course Builder.

Guest Journals (2 per couple).

Available from our shop.

As we watched the series, it has been a breath of fresh air for our community. It is convenient and simple to facilitate. Week by week, we haven’t seen the numbers taper off and, in fact, we’ve added couples taking the course. The team has put an outstanding resource together. There is no doubt the pastoral and evangelistic nature of The Marriage Course springboards everyone involved towards a biblically strong marriage.
