Preparing Couples for Marriage

Perhaps you work with couples that want to marry, but are unable to find somewhere nearby that offers the necessary marriage prep class. Agape Catholic Ministries, founded and led by Christian and Christine Meert, offers an online program with the ability to build a relationship with a role-model couple.

You can help be a part of helping engaged couples prepare for a thriving marriage by leading them to this pre-marriage course which is for those willing to build a strong Christ-centered marriage, and works especially well for couples separated by distance, in the military, or with difficult work schedules. It also combines the convenience of online and on-demand access with the ability to build relationships with a role-model couple.

This online resource is perfect for reaching those who might not otherwise be able to find a program that fits their specific situation. In addition, couples can learn life skills that address communication, conflict resolution, finances, family of origin, parenting, and natural family planning. Everything they teach points back to a relationship with Christ.

As Christine says, "Every couple is unique and different. We build trust with them, and they become vulnerable. Our goal is to help them build their own deep spiritual foundation.”

Are there couples that you work with that you believe would benefit from learning how to communicate and connect better with each other during their marriage, as well as reconnect with their local church?

Join us for this special Up Close and Personal to learn more about Christian and Christine Meert, and how their passion for couples resulted in an online ministry that is making a great impact.
