The Marriage Course

Leaders: Roc and Bev Bottomly. Roc was the Senior Fellow for Marriage at the Focus on the Family Leadership Institute. Together Roc and Bev provide an experienced husband-wife team who have trained couples both nationally and internationally.

Description: THE MARRIAGE COURSE provides 10-weeks of intense training to give couples the perspective, attitudes, and skills needed to build a thriving marriage. It is designed for both married and pre-married couples (pre-marrieds seriously dating or engaged). Couples study both the timeless wisdom of the Bible and the latest discoveries family research. In addition, they work together on practical exercises to build the habits that build a great marriage. It’s growing together. It’s hard work. It’s lasting progress. It’s great fun!

Almost everyone – married or single – dreams about having a great marriage. Life-giving companionship, arm-in-arm romance, shoulder-to-shoulder mission, satisfying sex, lasting family… there is something in all of us that instinctively longs for all of these. But let’s be honest. Great marriage doesn’t just happen.

It takes time – more than we expect.
It takes work – hard, intentional and at times difficult work.
It takes courage – the will to face and deal with intimidating fears.
It takes humility – the willingness to learn new ways..
If you are a couple that longs for a marriage that “thrives”… and you are willing to invest the time, work and inner change required, then THE MARRIAGE COURSE is for you.

Pursue God’s design for marriage.Overcome the difficulties all couples must work through for a thriving marriage.Practice the life skills vital to thriving marriage.
