"Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." - Romans 12:2

Whether you are a pastor, a counselor, a mentor couple, or simply someone God has placed in the path of an engaged couple, this Leader Package gives you everything behind the curriculum, the same tools we use, so you can walk into every session prepared, confident, and equipped to lead well.

This is not just a workbook handed to you and sent on your way. It is a complete facilitation system built on years of walking hundreds of couples through these same eight sessions.

The Goal? Creating a scalable, pastoral-centered pathway for preparing engaged couples to experience a ‘Til Death Do Us Part Marriage. Let's face it...

• Growing churches face growing pastoral demands
• Marriage preparation deserves excellence because it’s the hardest thing the couple will ever do
• Pastoral time is one of the church's biggest battles and most valuable resources
• Prevention is far more effective than crisis intervention after the wedding.
• A healthy marriage ministry multiplies the church's long-term discipleship impact  
   

All 8 Sessions' Leader Guides - A complete, session-by-session Leader Guide for each of the eight sessions in the course, covering the purpose of the session, how to prepare beforehand, and a facilitation map that shows you exactly where to focus your time and energy. Each guide equips you with the questions to ask, the teaching to deliver, and the scripture and stories that anchor the material in Christ.

Full Access to All 8 Teaching Videos - Watch the video for a session before you meet with the couple so you can preview exactly how it's meant to flow, where the natural pause points fall, and where the real weight of the teaching should land. It's one of the fastest ways to feel like you've already led the session, even the first time through.

Sidebar Stories and Illustrations - Personal stories and illustrations built into the video curriculum that bring each concept to life, not just a verse or a definition on a page, but a real example of what it looks like lived out. Use them as they are, or as a launching point for your own story once you're comfortable with the material.

Watch the Videos Together or Teach it Yourself - If you're not super comfortable leading a couple you could simply play the videos for the couple in session, pause as needed to read and discuss, and then keep moving through the entire video.

70+ Teaching Handouts - A full library of teaching handouts I've created over the years covering nearly every topic addressed across the eight sessions, organized by session, so a couple can go deeper on whatever resonates most or wherever you sense they need more attention.

Preformatted Follow-Up Emails - "Ready-to-send" follow-up emails for every session, giving each couple a written record of what was taught and reviewed, and giving you a running record of what's been covered across the course.

One Copy of the Workbook - You will receive one copy of the workbook to use and mark up with all of your notes and details to want to cover or remember to talk about.

One Hour of Training - We will schedule a 60 Minute orientation call to make sure you feel confident in everything you see, and what a session can look like for the couples you work with.

1. Getting to Know the Couple - Building the foundation and learning who this couple really is
2. Why Did God Create Marriage? - God's purpose, plan, and power in a covenant marriage
3. Receive, Leave, Cleave, and Become One Flesh - God's relational blueprint for marriage, in the order He designed it
4. Biblical Decision Making - Discerning God's will together, from differences to red flags
5. Communication and Conflict Resolution - Learning to hear, speak, and resolve conflict well
6. Roles and Responsibilities - What God calls a husband and wife to in marriage
7. Money, Finances, and Stewardship - Handling God's resources well, together, as one team
8. Sexual Intimacy in Marriage - Closing the course with the Three P's, a spiritual commitment, and a leader's blessing over the marriage

This package is built for anyone called to walk a couple through premarital preparation:

• Pastors and ministry leaders looking for a proven, biblically grounded curriculum to offer couples in their church
• Professional and pastoral counselors who want a complete, Christ-centered framework already built for them
• Mentor couples trained and released by their church to walk alongside engaged couples
• Anyone the Lord has positioned to help a couple build a "First and Best" marriage from day one

You won't have to build a curriculum from scratch, guess at what to cover, or wonder what to say or do next. Every session tells you what to prepare, what to teach, and how long to expect it to run, so your energy goes toward being fully present with the couple in front of you, not scrambling to get ready.
