THE BENEFITS
The Marriage Institute offers a Bible-based, battle-tested approach that moves relationships from broken to whole—and from good to great. Shared below are the components of our transformative program.
VIRTUAL TRAININGS
Our courses and webinars strengthen your relationship in the fundamental areas of marital success: Communication, Conflict Management, Intimacy, Finances, Family, Emotional Intelligence, Self-Care, and Trauma Healing Informed Care. In addition, our virtual trainings are offered both live and on-demand, and designed to target common areas of difficulty—for married couples, those courting and engaged, and singles who are preparing for marriage.
PRIVATE COACHING
Every individual and couple can benefit from professional coaching. As such:
PREMIUM memberships do not include complimentary coaching sessions, but include discounted rates.
VIP memberships include seven (7) complimentary coaching sessions (60 minutes each).
PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY
A supportive peer-based community is one of the fundamental benefits of our membership programs. Although your marriage is a private union, you should not feel alone. As such, our Private Facebook Community empowers members to learn from each other’s marital successes and mistakes. It also facilitates engaging fellowship and discussion that give hope and strength.

- Expectations – The meaning of marriage (how was it in your family and growing up?)
- Communication – Men Speak Android and Women speak iPhone (How to get on the same frequency)
- Sex (your prior experiences, and your expectations in marriage)
- Faith (the importance of shared values, especially in spiritual matters)
- Family (roles and expectations within the family unit, including parenting)
- Finances (how you've used it, and how you expect to deal with it)
