Marriage LAB
About Marriage LAB
Marriage LAB is a GROUP 5-week marriage preparation program for intending couples, engaged couples and newlyweds who want to build a strong foundation together.
It’s also for couples who have been married for a while but feel they need to go back to the basics and strengthen their marriage.
Marriage LAB helps you learn more about marriage, your spouse and yourself, so you can build the kind of marriage you actually want to live in. It is based on biblical and practical wisdom and tools.
What will we cover?
Over 5-6 weeks, we’ll explore the things that matter before and during marriage, including:
Understanding Yourself
Who you are, what you bring into marriage, your expectations, values, needs and the patterns you may be carrying into your relationship.
Understanding Your Spouse
Learning to understand your spouse beyond attraction, chemistry and the things you currently have in common.
Communication
How to talk, listen, express yourself and handle conversations that could easily turn into another argument.
Conflict Resolution
How conflict actually works in marriage, what makes it worse and how to handle disagreements without damaging your relationship.
Intimacy & Connection
Understanding emotional, physical and relational intimacy and how couples can continue to build connection beyond the wedding day.
Money, Family & Other Real-Life Issues
The conversations couples need to have around finances, family, roles, expectations, children and other issues that can become major sources of tension in marriage.
Building Your Marriage
How to intentionally create the marriage you want instead of simply reacting to whatever life throws at you.
Faithfulness, vow renewals and more...
Marriage LAB is for you if:
You’re seriously considering marriage and want to prepare before saying “I do.”
You’re engaged and want to do more than plan a beautiful wedding.
You’re newly married and want to get your foundation right from the beginning.
You’ve been married for a while and realise you need to revisit some of the basics.
You want to understand marriage beyond what you have seen from your parents, friends, church or social media.
You want to become the kind of person who can contribute to the marriage you desire.
This is not just about getting married.
It’s about becoming ready for the reality of marriage.
Because knowing that you love each other is important. Knowing how to build a life together is another matter.
Marriage LAB gives you the opportunity to learn, ask questions, have honest conversations and begin building intentionally with your partner.
