Healthy marriages are the foundation of strong families, and strong families build thriving churches and communities. As a pastor, counselor, or community leader, you have a unique opportunity to guide couples in their most formative season—engagement and the early years of marriage.
That’s why we created Facilitator Training & Licensing for Moments Before Matrimony.
When you become a licensed facilitator, you’ll receive everything needed to confidently guide couples through our proven program.
Your License Includes:
Full Curriculum – A complete, biblically grounded resource, built for engaged and newlywed couples.
Facilitator Training – Step-by-step instruction to lead sessions with confidence.
Ongoing Support – Access to resources, program updates, and a community of facilitators for encouragement and ideas.
Anyone with a heart for seeing marriages thrive can serve as a facilitator. While research shows couples who have been married at least 5–7 years bring valuable experience, and those with 7–10+ years often offer deeper perspective and credibility, any married couple is welcome.
What matters most is a willingness to learn, grow, and walk alongside couples with authenticity, encouragement, and a Christ-centered perspective.
