Each HomeBuilders study is presented in a systematic format that includes:

Warm-Up (15 minutes)
Fun exercises begin each group session that will help you get to know each other.
Blueprints (60 minutes)
This is the heart of the study. It draws couples to God's Word as they answer relevant questions with their spouse, with a few others, or within the entire group.
Wrap-Up (15 minutes)
Couples will wind down each session with an opportunity to personally apply what they have learned.

HomeBuilders Project (60 minutes)
This is the unique application step of each HomeBuilders study. Before departing couples are encouraged to "Make a Date" to complete this project before the next meeting.

Each HomeBuilders Project contains three sections:

  1. A brief exercise for the couple to begin their date in a fun way.
  2. A section of questions for husbands and wives to answer individually.
  3. An opportunity for couples to share their answers with one another and to make application in their lives.

For a sample of our HomeBuilders materials, we recommend the introductory study, Keeping Your Covenant. The study contains four sessions sampled from our most popular HomeBuilders books—Building Your Marriage, Improving Communication in Your Marriage, Building Your Mate's Self-Esteem and Growing Together in Christ. With each session patterned after the HomeBuilders study group format, the topics reveal life-changing, biblical truths about how your wedding vows hold the keys to making your marriage last a lifetime.

Keeping Your Covenant is available by either:

  •  Downloading a free copy of the booklet (PDF format in English or Spanish).
    OR
  • Ordering the booklet in our online store.
