How life's challenges can make or break a marriage
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud... It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Why These Classes Matter
Prevent Future Crises
Many couples in marriage counseling face problems that could have been addressed before they said "I do". We prepare you for realities of marriage that you may never think about while dating.
Have Hard Conversations Now
We believe in "throwing all the tools out of the toolbox" - being fully transparent about your past, trauma, baggage, and expectations before marriage, not after.
Character Over Feelings
If your relationship is based only on feelings and hormones, that can be dangerous. Feelings come and go - we help you discover if you truly love the person beyond the initial excitement.
Christ's Blueprint
Christ gave the blueprint for marriage. If both people know Christ, embrace His blueprint, and stick to it, they become balanced individuals in a balanced relationship.
About Our Facilitator
Our dating classes are led by Myrtle Moody, a trained trauma counselor who brings experience from education, ministry, and counseling. Married for over 40 years, she and her husband, Pastor David, also provide weekly in-home marriage counseling.
This hands-on experience with real marital challenges has shaped the dating classes - addressing the issues she's seen break marriages, so couples can prepare before they face those challenges.
"How can your partner truly know you if you don't know yourself? That's where we start."
Ready to Invest in Your Future?
