Marriage coaching is a faith-based curriculum. Trained marriage coaches help couples work through their issues by means of mentoring and facilitating healthy conversations.

Throughout the sessions, couples learn about God's plan for marriage, how their backgrounds have made them who they are, how to appreciate each other's differences, how to communicate effectively when topics are difficult, resolving conflicts, forgiveness, problem solving, and more.

Couples complete assigned reading, which may include self-assessments prior to the meeting. These topics and assessments help lead discussions during the coaching session.
