FAQs
Who is Marriage Discipleship Training for?
Marriage Discipleship Training is for couples who want to help strengthen marriages in their church, community, or sphere of influence. Whether you’re a pastor, small group leader, mentor couple, or simply passionate about marriage, this training will equip you with practical tools to make an impact.
What will we learn?
You’ll learn practical ways to have meaningful marriage conversations, walk alongside other couples, create environments where relationships can thrive, and use your own story to encourage others. Everything is rooted in Scripture and informed by research and decades of experience serving couples.
How is this different from a marriage retreat?
Marriage retreats are designed primarily to help couples invest in and strengthen their own marriage.

You’ll still grow as a couple, but the focus is on learning how to disciple and encourage others.
Is this training only for pastors or church staff?
No. While pastors and ministry leaders are welcome, many participants are everyday couples who want to invest in the marriages around them. The training is designed to equip couples to disciple others wherever God has placed them.
