Every marriage needs a COMMITMENT, a COACH, and a COURSE OF ACTION to GROW their relationship. That’s why we created the Marriage Catalyst Essential Course. The purpose of this course is simple: to help you learn and apply proven principles to build a stronger and healthier marriage. Building a healthy marriage never happens automatically. Just as your body needs a balanced diet, exercise, and rest to maximize performance, your relationship needs to learn proven principles and apply them regularly to maximize your love for one another. Can you build a stronger and healthier marriage? Yes you can! This course will help you lay the right foundation for your marriage to thrive. Why does that matter? You need the right foundation to build a strong home; you also need the right foundation to build a growing marriage. The growth of your relationship is progressive. And when the foundation of your marriage is secure, everything else has much greater capacity to prosper. There’s no magic pill to build a stronger and healthier marriage. We promise that building a stronger marriage will require hard work, sacrifice, and a change in how you do things today. It will require time, effort, and resources, but it is well worth your investment. You can start building a stronger and healthier marriage today. After more than 31-years of marriage, serving as a marriage trainer, and coaching many couples, I want to walk you through the keys to building a stronger and healthier marriage. You can do this! Marriage coaching is an engaging process that inspires couples to build habits to protect, direct, and grow their marriage. Your marriage doesn’t have to be bad to get better. Maybe things have been going fairly well for years. Getting better in your marriage is not a one-time event, but a journey of exploration and discovery. Athletes continue training to increase their performance. Scholars continue studying to increase their knowledge. It only makes since for couples to continue learning to strengthen their relationship. Investing in your relationship is a wise move.

Start Dreaming Again!

The first module of our online course is designed to help you and your spouse restore the dream of your marriage. If your schedules are too hectic right now, consider watching each week’s session videos for over a month. 12 Online Sessions Remembering the Dream for Your Marriage (4 Sessions) We want to help you replenish your marriage with passion and purpose. The first four sessions will help you and your spouse remember the original dream of your marriage. We all dreamed of spending countless hours with our spouses immersed in conversation, laughter, and love. This first group of sessions will teach you and your spouse how to reignite your passion for one another. Establishing a Strong Foundation (3 Sessions) The second module will focus on establishing a strong foundation for your marriage. Since God is the one who created marriage, it makes sense to discover the purposes outlined in His book, the Bible, for your marriage to thrive. These sessions will help you and your spouse understand the purpose of your marriage. Connecting to the Right Source (2 Sessions) The third module will center on connecting to the right source for your marriage to grow healthy and strong. Satisfaction is a powerful force. Connecting to the wrong source of satisfaction will lead your relationship down a path of frustration, pain, and regret. Let’s make sure we connect you to the right source. Love and Respect (3 Sessions) The fourth module is without question, a huge favorite. It focuses on connecting to the core of your spouse’s greatest need. These sessions will help you discover the most important need that your spouse has and how to consistently meet this need. We will help you understand the implications of the Relational Cycle of Destruction and the Relational Cycle of Growth.

Now more than ever you need to focus on growing your marriage and establishing a vision for what could be and should be. When you grow your marriage, the capacity to influence family, friends, business relationships, coworkers, and even complete strangers, multiplies.

What is the philosophy behind the principles taught in this course?

This course is based on the timeless supracultural principles of the Bible, God's Word. Since God is the author of marriage and life itself, our conviction is that the best plan for our lives, and for our marriage, is to align both of them with God's ways. Marriage is a picture of the relationship between Jesus and His church. We teach these amazing principles out of an overflow of gratitude, humility, and a deep love for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

As a couple, should we watch the course together or separately?

Together is better. We encourage couples to watch the videos, work through the activities, and answer questions together in a relaxed environment. Part of the design for this course is to stimulate conversation and application after each session.

Is it better to complete the course as fast as possible or to plan for several weeks of training?

Spreading out the videos over several weeks is the best approach. We recommend picking two or three nights during the week, giving yourself at least an hour to allow for open conversation and reflection.

Does each spouse need to print the PDF workbook?

Yes. We want each spouse to have their own workbook and complete all fill-in-the-blanks, activities, and application questions. The reason for this is surprisingly simple. The more you write and engage with the content, the more you will get out of this course.

What can we reasonably expect to get out of this course?

Expect to be challenged in your thinking as it relates to your role in the marriage relationship. As you separate generous amounts of time to review what your spouse wrote down during the activity time or personal application time, expect to discover new insights. As you do, ask additional questions to deepen your understanding.
