Preparing for Marriage

You have spent a lot of time and money preparing for the wedding ....

How have you prepared for the marriage?

For newly married, engaged, and ....

..... “is this the one” stage couples

How long do you want your marriage to last?

If you answered “Forever!” .... we commend you.

But we know that not all marriages last forever.

Strong, long-lasting marriages don’t just happen.

This class provides you with the principles and tools for a lasting marriage.

Join other couples in an eight-lesson class (taught in 4 sessions) designed to prepare you for marriage.

Classes utilize video, teaching, and discussion.

Class size is limited.

Topics include:

Starting Your New Life Together

Strength for an Enduring Bond

For Love or Money

Leader and Lover

Support and Respect

Talking Points

From War to Peace

Blazing Embers

Each participant will receive a workbook with lessons, articles, and questions on each topic for the couple to answer and discuss together.

The class is designed for engaged, newly married, and seriously dating couples.

The cost of the class includes the Prepare inventory. The inventory assesses growth and strength areas for each couple. Each couple will have one private session (outside of class) to review the inventory.

Research shows that premarital instruction greatly improves a couple’s success in the marital relationship.

All principles and instructions are based on proven techniques and a Christian perspective.

From past class attendees:

It's been a great 15 years. You and Ed helped us to get off to a great start. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us and for showing us God's plan for a great marriage. We appreciate you both so much! :) Terri

 Ed and Donna’s Preparing for Marriage class provided a great opportunity for my wife and me to understand the many challenges that face a healthy Christian marriage. They equipped us with sound biblical knowledge and practical tools we still apply in all aspects of our marriage today. I highly recommend the Preparing for Marriage class to all engaged and newly married couples. Bobby

We can't say enough about the Preparing for Marriage class. We appreciated the way Ed & Donna cared for us as a couple. They helped guide us on how to begin a spiritual & financially healthy Christian marriage, while also honoring God. The materials we used in class continue to be helpful tools we still refer back to today. Ed & Donna are passionate about teaching couples the truth about marriage & honoring God. This class is truly a blessing and you will benefit from forever. Shawn & PJ
