Strengthen your connection.

Release what's pulling you apart.

Rediscover the future you're meant to build—together.


The Marriage Challenge gives you and your spouse an unforgettable three-day experience—a meaningful pause from the noise of life and a shared journey that brings clarity, depth, and renewed vision.


Whether you're newly married or have walked decades side by side, your marriage needs a clear picture of where you're going, why it matters, and how you'll walk that path…hand in hand.


Over three intentional days, you'll step away from routine and into guided conversations, shared experiences, and moments of reflection designed to help you reconnect at the heart level.


The Marriage Challenge helps you:

  • clarify the future you're building together
  • recognize what quietly pulls you apart
  • renew the way you think, speak, and love
  • learn to fight as one, not against each other


The Marriage Challenge isn't just a weekend away.

...it's a step toward the marriage God designed you to live.
