Marriage Foundations
Building a strong foundation before you begin
A simple step to explore what’s right for your next season.
Building a strong foundation before you begin
A guided experience for individuals or engaged couples who want to approach marriage thoughtfully—before stepping into it.
This is not about simply getting through a season.
It’s about forming the patterns, rhythms, and foundation that will shape your marriage from the very beginning.
You don’t have to have everything figured out—just a willingness to prepare with intention.
Why this was created
Many people enter marriage with good intentions—but without clear formation.
They care deeply, but haven’t yet developed the patterns, rhythms, and understanding that help a relationship remain steady over time.
And while many wait until something feels off to seek help, much of what shapes a marriage happens long before those moments.
This process was created to help you approach marriage differently—
with clarity, intention, and a Christ-centered foundation from the start.
How the process unfolds
Eight structured sessions
You’ll be guided through eight sessions, each designed to help you clarify expectations, strengthen communication, and build alignment as you prepare for marriage.
Sessions are scheduled in a consistent rhythm, allowing space between conversations for reflection and application.
Between-session engagement (your private hub)
You’ll have access to a dedicated online hub where you can engage with guided exercises, reflection prompts, and practical tools between sessions.
This is where much of the formation happens—helping you apply what you’re learning in real time, not just during your sessions.
Practical application and Christ-centered formation
Throughout the process, you’ll be invited to engage intentionally—developing rhythms that begin shaping how you relate, communicate, and invite God into your relationship from the very beginning.
What you’ll begin to notice and develop
This process is designed to help you build a strong and lasting foundation—not just prepare for a moment.
You will be supported in:
Clarifying expectations, values, and direction before marriage
Strengthening communication and understanding
Developing practical rhythms you can carry into everyday life together
Growing in awareness, humility, and intentionality
Learning how to invite God into your relationship from the beginning
This is a process of becoming—allowing God to form both the marriage and the people within it before you say “I Do”
Who this is for
This process is designed for individuals or engaged couples who:
Are preparing for marriage and want to begin with intention
Desire more than surface-level preparation
Are open to reflection, honesty, and meaningful conversation
Want to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation from the start
When this may not be the right fit for you
This process may not be the best fit if:
You are currently navigating significant relational conflict that requires focused care
There are unresolved issues that would benefit from more intensive support
You are primarily looking for quick answers rather than intentional preparation
In these cases, more personalized care may be the better next step.
What this process invites from you
This process invites a posture of openness, honesty, and intentional engagement.
You don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to reflect, communicate, and thoughtfully consider how you are preparing for marriage.
Meaningful preparation doesn’t come from information alone, but from what you begin to practice and live out over time.
As you engage, you’ll be invited to:
Reflect honestly on your expectations and assumptions
Communicate openly and with intention
Practice rhythms that support a healthy, Christ-centered foundation
Investment and participation
Marriage Foundations is a guided, eight-session pathway designed to help you prepare for marriage with clarity and intention.
Your registration includes:
Eight guided sessions (virtual or in person)
Full access to your private Foundations Hub for between-session engagement
Guided prompts, exercises, and structured conversations
Ongoing support and direction throughout the process
Investment: $1,200 per couple
Payment is made in full prior to the start of the process. A structured payment plan is available for those who prefer to divide the investment over time.
Sessions are scheduled in a consistent rhythm, allowing space between conversations for reflection, application, and meaningful preparation.
Because this is a guided and personalized process with time intentionally reserved, sessions are non-refundable once scheduled. If a scheduling adjustment is needed, we ask for advance notice so we can best accommodate your time.
While many couples begin this process leading up to their wedding, sessions may continue beyond the wedding if needed—allowing the process to be completed thoughtfully, without unnecessary pressure.
This is not simply an investment in preparation, but in the foundation you carry into your marriage.
A Note on Care
Power & Love Marriage provides marriage training and spiritual formation, grounded in biblical counseling principles. Our programs are not licensed professional counseling or clinical therapy, and are not intended to replace mental health services. If clinical care or crisis support is needed, we will encourage you to seek care from a licensed professional or appropriate provider.
Taking the next step
The first step is a simple conversation.
This allows us to understand your season, answer your questions, and help determine if this process is the right fit as you prepare for marriage.
If it is, we’ll walk you through the next steps and help you begin in a way that feels clear and intentional.
