One Focused Day Toward Oneness
God designed marriage to reflect His love and unity. When a marriage is in crisis, that vision can feel out of reach. Marriage Intensives are specifically for couples in crisis.
In one focused day grounded in God’s Word, we help couples move from the brink toward real alignment with Him and with each other. It is a powerful turning point where lasting transformation can begin.
We currently lead these Intensives ourselves and will soon train other mentor couples to lead them as well, so more marriages can experience this focused help.
Who This Is For
These Intensives are for Christian couples whose marriage is in crisis, stuck in painful patterns, or on the brink of divorce. If you feel hopeless or that nothing else has worked, this day is for you.

Investment
To keep our core ministry completely free, we offer Intensives as a suggested donation of $800 for the full day. This is the only offering we charge for. Your gift helps us continue providing free Life Groups and mentoring to as many couples as possible.
After the Intensive
The goal of the day is to move your marriage into a place where real transformation can take root and grow. Many couples then continue growing through our free Life Groups and Couple-to-Couple Mentoring for ongoing support and community.
For Mentor Couples
We currently lead Intensives ourselves. We will soon begin training qualified mentor couples to facilitate them as well. If you feel called to this level of ministry, please let us know.
