Today, leading churches and communities are experiencing dramatic results by providing marriage mentoring to pre-marital couples, married couples in need of enrichment, and even those ready to “call it quits.” Trained pastors and lay marriage mentors can have a profound impact transforming their church and community, one couple at a time.
Sadly, while the vast majority of weddings take place in churches, fewer than 5% of churches utilize lay marriage mentors and only about 30% require couples to take a relationship assessment as part of their marriage preparation. That’s a tragic, lost opportunity to provide engaged couples with the skills they will need for a successful marriage. We want to change that by offering several training options that can be customized to fit your specific needs.
Review the options below and then contact us so we can confirm pricing and availability.
1. Marriage Skills Training (Live or Remote Option)
Our speakers Jeff and Glynis Murphy or Chuck and Mae Dettman, will show you how to successfully apply the best practices for marriage mentoring with timeless, biblical principles that together, provide the only solution for the divorce epidemic and the destruction of families. Each of these couples bring decades of successful marriage and marriage ministry experience.
2. Marriage Skills Training Kit (DIY Option)
You can purchase our complete set of training materials along with copies of The Solution for Marriages for each participant and deliver each of the 14 training topics yourself. You will receive a license authorizing the use of these materials for your own church and you will be able to conduct training classes as often as you like. This is the least expensive way to fully train your entire staff and marriage ministry team!
All training materials (14 topics, over 250 PowerPoint slides with instructor notes) and a one hour consultation via telephone or Zoom.
