In our society, we train for a career, plan for retirement, and we even take courses to prepare us for other tasks. Yet, even though it is one of the most basic institutions of life, many
couples enter into marriage with no preparation whatsoever. And that
lack of preparation has been cited as a major factor in America's
high divorce rate.
A Cord of Three Strands is a faith-based, preparatory program designed to help engaged, pre-engaged, or recently married couples develop a strong foundation for healthy, happy marriage, built around husband, wife, and God. Using lecture and discussion, the prep for marriage course helps couples learn about each other while focusing on communication skills, conflict resolution, financial management, and both sexual and spiritual relationships.
