Lead a Lasting Discipleship Journey

Be a part of creating transformative experiences for marriages -- everywhere.

With WinShape Marriage

Within the context of our weekend Marriage Retreats, Host Couples seek to provide a ministry of presence to those who are participating in the retreat. This includes participating in experiential learning and programming components of the weekend, as well as joining couples for meals and down time. Hosts aim to build relationships with other couples and get to know them on a personal level, ultimately serving them by being a safe place to process the marriage content that is presented.

In Your Community

Creating healthy marriages in your church doesn’t happen by accident. Through intentional investment into couples, you can create lasting change and transformation, and ultimately, healthier families. As a pastor, marriage ministry leader, or small group leader, you have the opportunity to create transformative experiences right in your own context. By taking WinShape Marriage’s years of experience, you can learn new ways to help others discover a moment of enrichment, or give someone the courage to endure through hardship.

The process to becoming a Host Couple is simple:

1. Apply by clicking the “Apply Now” button on a date below. You will be directed to a brief application where you will share your heart for strengthening marriages and so we can hear more about your marriage story.

2. A WinShape Marriage Team Member will follow up with you regarding your application and to confirm your training date.

3. Attend a Host Couple Training event at WinShape Retreat in Rome, GA. This is a weekend away for you and your spouse where we will provide comprehensive training on everything you need to know to be an effective host couple.

The price to attend Host Couple Training is $99/couple.
