Marriage Foundations

So you find yourself engaged and wondering, “What’s next?” Many of us spend so much time preparing for the wedding day that we forget to prepare adequately for a marriage that lasts a lifetime. “Marriage Foundations,” a free six-hour course for those engaged or considering engagement, will help prepare you for a fulfilling, life-long, God-honoring marriage. It even meets the requirements for pre-marital counseling in a classroom setting, qualifying couples for a $60 discount on their Tennessee marriage license if they get married within one (1) year.

What Will We Talk About?

One of the fundamental components of any marriage is intimacy: to fully know and to be fully known. In “Marriage Foundations,” Josh Creason, Ph.D., will focus on building three facets of intimacy: Spiritual Intimacy, Relational Intimacy and Physical Intimacy.
