In 12 stunning sessions, BELOVED uncovers the mystery and the meaning of the sacrament of marriage. What if marriage is more than you think it is? What if God has woven into the very fabric of your humanity a purposeful need and desire that can only be fulfilled in your marriage? BELOVED invites all couples to experience firsthand the wonder, mystery, and joy behind that first "I do" ... whether you said it last year or many years ago.
Beloved is comprised of two parts: The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage has 6 sessions and Living Marriage has 6 sessions. All 12 episodes can be used in Marriage Prep or for Marriage Enrichment. Just select your Leader and Couples Guides for "Preparation" or "Enrichment".

Beyond the butterflies of the early encounters and beyond the lace and toasts of the wedding day, there is a life of love to behold. All relationships take work. Your marriage will be one of the most important and influential relationships in your adult life. Marriage preparation classes are designed to give you the tools you need to create a marriage filled with open communication, shared vision, and tender compassion. There are several options for marriage preparation. Whether you choose to sit one-on-one with a counselor, or take a weekend away with other couples, every program will cover the basic issues facing married couples: influences and demands of your families, role expectations, finances, communication styles, and more. Having these discussions before marriage sets you up to have clear expectations, shared visions, and tools for communicating when the road gets rocky. These preparation classes are required so that you have the best possible outcome for a life-long, loving marriage.
