Because good marriages
don’t just happen

Marriage CORE is an innovative marriage enrichment curriculum and ministry resource that is Christ-centered, self-reflective, and relationally-focused to provide real, lasting, and transformational results for couples.

Welcome to Marriage CORE.

Marriage CORE is an innovative marriage enrichment curriculum and ministry resource that is Christ-centered, self-reflective, and relationally-focused.

The curriculum’s content guides couples through an exploration of the CORE elements of marriage by examining 24 characteristics of the marriage relationship.

It invites couples to become more aware of their own approaches for ā€œmaking marriage workā€ and introduces them to Christ-centered paradigms.

Each week participants complete a lesson by reading the instructional content, answering self-reflective questions, coming together with their spouse to process their responses, and sharing life in community within the safety of their CORE couples group.

Part of what makes Marriage CORE unique is that couples are invited to build real and authentic relationships with other couples in their journey. This is done conversationally around weekly Christ-centered CORE principles that produce lasting and transformational change for the individual and the couple.
