Marriage Matters is a ministry devoted to helping couples grow, heal, and walk in the covenant of marriage with purpose and strength. We believe that marriage, a sacred union between a husband and wife, reflects God’s heart and stands as the cornerstone of thriving families and flourishing communities.

The name Marriage Matters carries a dual meaning:

• Marriage matters deeply to God as part of His covenant design.
   
• It also encompasses the matters of marriage - the real-life circumstances, challenges, and seasons couples face together.

Mantling Sessions: Where Healing and Unity Begin

At the heart of Marriage Matters are our transformative Mantling Sessions - safe, spirit-led gatherings where like-minded couples come together for:

• Healing from past wounds
   
• Strengthening their spiritual foundation
   
• Building authentic connection and unity
   

Through sound biblical teaching, spiritual guidance, and real conversations, these sessions help realign marriages with God’s original intent.

Momentum Weekend Retreat: Rest, Reconnect, Rise to a New Level

The journey concludes with a relaxed, three-day destination retreat where couples:

• Worship together in community
   
• Attend powerful, interactive workshops
   
• Enjoy a special date night—or simply hang the "Do Not Disturb" sign and, well...
   

This is a time to step away, tune into God’s presence, and focus on each other in a beautiful, stress-free setting as you launch into a new level of relationship. 

For Every Stage of the Journey

Whether you're preparing for marriage or strengthening the one you're in, Marriage Matters offers the wisdom, support, and tools you need to grow together in love, faith, and purpose.

Our mission:  To guide couples to intentionally pause, seek God together, and strengthen their bond—nurturing a Christ-centered marriage in every stage of life.
