Testimonials

What leaders & couples are saying

Our marriage will be forever changed. This has allowed for so many deep and meaningful conversations that were open, raw, and honest without judgment. This helped my husband listen, hear, and act on my need for a genuine and sincere apology. He gave me one, and I melted into tears.

Participant

FamilyLife’s Vertical Marriage small group study has changed the course of my marriage and I could not be more grateful! We looked towards each other for fulfillment in our marriage, instead of to God. I look forward to doing another FamilyLife study in the future.

Leader

I have to say this was a wake up call and a great reminder that I need to step up to become a better leader in my household…Going through this, I definitely gained my “bearings” on what it takes to step up and become a man of God!

Participant

I am going through the Art of Parenting for a second time! The first time was with a friend. We both have teenagers and up. Because there was so much wisdom we kept rewinding the videos to hear what was said again…I am currently leading 10 women through it and they all LOVE it!

Participant and Leader

My spouse and I were able to connect on the numerous challenges that our blended family has faced. I’m so grateful to FamilyLife for helping us to create a healthy blended family.

Participant

We were blown away every session! Each point made was something we could take back home & incorporate in our family. Several in our group shared “they have been doing it all wrong!” They were so happy for Godly guidance. It was the perfect mix of wisdom & fun!

Participant

Love Like You Mean It is a great video-based marriage study…I loved that it went through 1 Corinthians 13 so in-depth and applied each verse to real life issues. This study was so great for my husband and I and taught us what true agape love looked like lived out.

Participant

I’m so glad we decided to do this! 10/10 recommend! The questions that were asked were thoughtful and intentional. We had very meaningful conversations; some were even healing!

Participant

In one way or another, the men attending shared the revelation that in order for them to step up and step out in courageous manhood they need Christ and His power to be their fuel—their wisdom and strength.

Participant

I’m so grateful we said yes! To the class, to leading, to committing to the work. We are ones that didn’t necessarily think we ‘needed’ it, but also never regret putting time and attention into our marriage. So encouraged for newer, younger marriages because there was so much we always say we wish we knew when we were first married!

Leader

It’s so much fun to lead! We are starting our 3rd group next week leading this. You will love it and help your marriage go up a notch for sure!❤❤❤

Leader

10/10!!! I loved learning more about God’s design for our marriage. It allowed me and my husband to recenter and remind ourselves what our purpose is as a Christian married couple. The homework was an extremely valuable resource that ‘forced us’ to have vulnerable, authentic conversations.

Participant

This video based series is ideal for modern day couples that might be in a blended or stepfamily situation which is so prevalent in our culture and society today. Ideal for couples that are in a blended or stepfamily setting and seeking to make their marriage last.

Leader

This was the first time my wife and I have participated in anything like this. It was a blessing, we are going on dates regularly which alone was worth the time.
