Answer:Married for Life groups are for married couples who are willing to work on their marriage together.
Answer: To join a Married for Life group, you will first need to attend an information night. You will be given full information about groups, what is taught, when they meet, etc. and you will hear from other couples who have completed groups. If you would then like to join a group, you may sign up at that time.
Answer: Each group lasts 14 weeks and is followed by an information night to which you can invite family and friends.
Answer: Each group consists of a maximum of 7 couples and is closed to new members during the 14 weeks. This provides continuity as well as confidentiality for group members.
Answer: The registration fee is $50 per couple for the entire course. The registration is kept nominal so that no couple is prevented from attended a group due to financial constraints. In addition, a freewill offering is taken each week during the group meeting.
Answer: Married for Life groups are not counseling sessions. Each week a specific scriptural principle is taught that, when applied to your marriage, will transform your relationship. Each lesson is accompanied by homework that reinforces the principle taught in the group. The degree to which a couple is committed to working on their marriage is the degree to which they will see changes.
Answer: Each group is lead by a Lead Couple and a Leader in Training Couple. They have undergone rigorous training and must participate in ongoing training and discipling to be UofF leaders. Each couple must be recommended by their pastors and have a good relationship with their local church.
Answer: Check out the contact couples section of this website. They can get you in touch with the group nearest you.
Answer: Couples must attend groups together. If your spouse is not willing to do this, there are other alternatives open to you. We do have excellent tapes and books that will minister to you. You can find them on our products page. We also recommend other ministries that minister to individuals whose spouses will not work with them on their marriage. Check out them out on the links page.
Answer: No. Unless it's been more than two years since your last group completed.
Answer: The waiting period depends on where you live. Check our contact couples section to find out who you should contact for more information.
Answer: There are two ways: you may be trained during an intensive training weekend or you may minister as Leaders in Training during a 14-week group.
Answer: The contact couples provided in this website can discuss with you the qualifications for leadership and give you all the information you need regarding UofF leadership training. A list of training weekends both within the U.S. and around the world can be found on this website.
