Are you ready to do something about the divorce rate in your community? Have you made the connection between stronger marriages and healthier communities... and greater child-wellbeing... and more productive corporations... and the ability to pass faith from one generation to another? If so, then bring the Couple Checkup Conference to your church or community.
The Couple Checkup is utilized by many cutting edge ministries including Focus on the Family, FamilyLife, Willow Creek Community Church, Love Is Here.com, the Chick-fil-A Marriage & Family Foundation, and the US Military.
One study* found that a relationship inventory accounted for as much as 30% of the total impact of a marriage enrichment program.
Imagine the growth that couples can receive from a conference that integrates the Couple Checkup into the learning process! Contact us today about how you can bring this event to your church or community.

Post Conference Small Groups: Materials are available to help your church launch post-conference study groups for married and remarried couples. The two landmark books The Couple Checkup and The Remarriage Checkup both have FREE study guides for small groups. Taking a group through the books following the conference is a great way to "dive deep" and further enhance the gains aquired at the conference. Ask us about this great program.
We look forward to partnering with you to enrich the lives of couples in your community!
