The Heart & Soul of a Real Marriage is a 12-lesson study that takes a couple on a journey of looking at what is really going on below the surface in their marriage. We all carry baggage into our marriages that hinder our ability to meet each other’s needs. Couples will learn how to help rather than hurt each other. This study offers practical, biblically based resources to help your journey of intimacy. The principles taught will provide a deeper understanding of God’s design for oneness in your marriage and help you understand your partner in a more intimate way. This will allow you to be more intentional in meeting their needs and equip you with resources to protect your marriage and inspire you to a deeper level of oneness.


IS THE HEART & SOUL CLASS COUNSELING?

No. The Heart & Soul classes are not counseling. They are lectures that include principles, stories, illustrations, video clips and couples sharing their stories to make it a practical learning experience. Many times couples have personal problems that need to be discussed with a pastor or counselor in private. Over the years we have found that couples do best when they attend the Heart & Soul classes along with counseling. Trained teachers who understand the struggles of a marriage and share from their own experiences teach the Heart & Soul classes.


DO WE BOTH HAVE TO ATTEND?

No. If your spouse is not ready to make a commitment to attend the Heart & Soul classes, we invite you to attend alone. The class can teach you how to understand the underlying issues in your marriage and how to respond in a way that brings about healing and resolution to the conflict.


WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE CLASSES?

Couples with good marriages that want to take their marriage deeper. Engaged couples may also take this course as part of their premarital preparation. Couples who are experiencing serious marriage difficulties or are going through a separation or divorce. Many couples comment that they wish they had attended the Heart & Soul classes shortly after they had gotten married.
