Life-Changing Experiences for Couples
When you host a marriage or parenting event, you’re giving couples in your church and community the opportunity to strengthen their relationships and experience God’s help, hope, and healing.
These gatherings are practical and biblical, designed to equip people to thrive in their most important relationships. In doing so, you’ll not only strengthen couples’ relationships but also build up the church community as a whole.
We invite you to explore the options below and discover what could be the best fit for your church in this season.
Marriage Events
Together for Good Marriage Workshop
Learn how to navigate differences, prevent drift, and work towards a relationship that will stay together for good. Together for Good is available as a streamable, 5-Session, video-based resource ideal, for adult classes, a retreat or a one-day church event. Churches can use the videos and workbooks to run the event, or invite a FamilyLife speaker couple to teach in person if they are available. Contact us at events@familylifecanada.com to discuss live event options.
Couple’s Date Night
Hosted at a church, coffee shop, or home, this date night event covers a practical marriage topic, combining fun with meaningful conversation to help couples grow closer. It’s a simple and engaging way to strengthen marriages. It can be used to launch other initiatives, such as Marriage Mentoring, a Together for Good Workshop, or marriage or parenting-themed small groups.
