BEFORE THE VOWS
A Fun and Revealing Bible-Centered Premarital Coaching Program
We Love Marriage!
According to Zola, a one-stop wedding planning site, wedding costs in the US in 2024 average around $33,000 so far--up a bit from the last two years. The number varies from state to state, of course, so if you're getting married in Rhode Island, your price tag may be closer to $49,207!Â
Call us old school if you want, but we think that’s a LOT of money to spend on a wedding–even if you have it.
You see, a fancy wedding won’t help your marriage last longer. On the other hand, preparing for your marriage--really preparing--might. So while you’re spending on your wedding, remember to invest in your marriage. Invest time, energy, attention, and if necessary, money to prepare yourselves for a lifetime partnership. And for a marriage you’ll want to keep for life.
Premarital coaching can help.
Our Marriage Prep Program
Before The Vows is a 12-week Biblically-grounded premarital education and coaching program that helps engaged couples ...
- Get to know one another more deeply,
- Understand the principles of Biblical marriage, and
- Explore and negotiate key elements of your future life as covenant partners.
The program consists of a pre-program assessment by Prepare-Enrich. Then we’ll get together for 12 weekly coaching sessions. These include discussion, games, quizzes, exercises, and media presentations to keep things interesting.
Homework assignments help you process and practice what you learn, and coaching helps you put your learning into action.
