Marriage Cohort
Christ-centered virtual group formation experiences designed to help couples grow through biblical teaching, intentional practice, and meaningful community.
Grow your marriage with clarity, consistency, and shared rhythm
A 6-week guided virtual experience for couples who want to grow intentionally through Christ-centered teaching, guided reflection, practical application, and prayer.
This is not about fixing everything at once.
It’s about learning to engage your marriage differently—together.
A YEAR OF INTENTIONAL GROWTH
Four Cohorts. One Continuing Journey.
Our Marriage Cohorts are designed as four distinct 6-week online Formation Experiences offered throughout the year. Each cohort focuses on a different area of marriage while building upon the formation and practices introduced in the experiences before it.
Couples can return throughout the year to continue growing together—deepening what they've learned, developing new rhythms, and intentionally investing in their marriage one season at a time.
You don't have to do everything at once. Start with one experience, practice what you're learning, and return when you're ready for what's next.

Focus: Growing Deep Roots for a Lasting Marriage.

Focus: Formation for a Thriving Heart and Healthy Relationship.

Couples will grow in awareness, spiritual safety, and deeper connection with one another and with God—recognizing beliefs, patterns, and reactions that may be shaping their relationship.

COMMUNICATION THAT BUILDS
Mar. 23 – May 4, 2027
Focus: Turning Conversations Into Connection.
Guided formation designed to help couples grow in connection through intentional, everyday communication. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, this experience forms the heart and posture behind how we listen, speak, and respond.
Couples will learn to listen with understanding, speak truth with grace, navigate disagreement without escalation, and repair well when conversations break down—developing healthier rhythms that build trust, clarity, and lasting connection.
Objective: Develop healthier patterns of communication that strengthen connection, help couples navigate conflict constructively, and create a consistent rhythm of understanding and repair.

STANDING TOGETHER
July 13 – August 24, 2027
Focus: Partnering in Purpose and Protecting Your Marriage.
Guided formation designed to help couples strengthen the way they live, grow, and move forward together. Rather than simply managing the demands of life, this experience helps develop greater unity, shared direction, and intentional rhythms that strengthen and protect their marriage through changing seasons.
Couples will grow in spiritual unity, shared purpose, and partnership—learning to align priorities, navigate decisions together, and develop rhythms that protect connection and help them face life's pressures as a unified team.

HOW IT WORKS
A Rhythm of Learning, Practice and Growth
Each Marriage Cohort combines live virtual gatherings with intentional practice between sessions, giving couples time to learn, apply what they're discovering, and integrate new rhythms into everyday married life.
LIVE VIRTUAL GATHERINGS
Gather with other couples for Christ-centered teaching, guided discussion, reflection, and opportunities to learn and grow together.
BETWEEN-SESSION PRACTICE
Continue the formation at home through guided exercises, meaningful conversations, Scripture, reflection, and prayer designed to help you put what you're learning into practice.
COHORT HUB
Access teaching materials, weekly practices, resources, and cohort information in one central place throughout the six-week experience.
SHARED COMMUNITY
Grow alongside other couples who are also choosing to invest intentionally in their marriages, creating opportunities for encouragement, shared learning, and meaningful connection.
A SAFE PLACE TO GROW TOGETHER
Marriage Cohorts are designed to be personal without being exposing.
You'll be invited to reflect, practice, and engage honestly with your spouse—without being expected to publicly share private details of your marriage.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
For couples who:
✓ Want to grow intentionally, not just react to problems
✓ Are open to learning, reflection, and shared conversation
✓ Desire practical tools they can apply in everyday life
✓ Are willing to engage consistently for six weeks
WHEN THIS MAY NOT BE A FIT:
This may not be appropriate if:
✕ You are currently navigating a crisis that requires focused, personalized support
✕ There are active safety concerns, abuse, or significant instability
✕ You are primarily looking to address urgent or complex relational issues
In these situations, we encourage seeking the appropriate level of care and support. We may recommend Personalized Care. Our desire is always to help you receive what is best for your season.
READY TO GROW TOGETHER?
You don't have to wait until something is wrong to invest in your marriage.
Choose the Marriage Cohort that fits your season and take your next step toward growing intentionally together.
