Our Pre-Marriage Program helps couples, like you, develop strong, Christ-centered relationships even before they say “I do."


Marriage isn’t just about flowers, rings, and “happily ever after.” It’s real life, and real life is messy. But stepping into marriage prepared can make all the difference.
Skipping pre-marriage coaching is like jumping into the cockpit of a plane with no training, no instructor, and no idea how to handle turbulence.
Love may get you off the ground, but without guidance, it’s only a matter of time before you hit confusion, conflict, or crisis, and have no tools to navigate it.
Preparation matters!
You’re investing in your BIG DAY to celebrate your love—now, let’s talk about investing in a marriage that stands the test of time!

"We really enjoyed our time with Craig and Kelly through the Built to Last coaching. Looking back, it honestly feels like God led us to them at the exact right time. We were engaged and working through some friction in our relationship, and these sessions helped us come out the other side stronger. They gave us practical tools that we’ll carry into our marriage, along with a much deeper understanding of each other. We feel more aligned, more confident, and more prepared for what’s ahead. We’re incredibly grateful for the time, care, and investment Craig and Kelly put into us. It’s made a lasting impact on our relationship, and we truly believe it’s set a strong foundation for our marriage to grow and flourish."
"Kelly and Craig's premarital coaching was both insightful and enjoyable. As a married couple, they offered wise, balanced perspectives that spoke powerfully into our lives and sparked meaningful conversations we’ll carry with us into marriage. This premarital coaching helped us see the value of investing in our marriage through a faith-centered lens."
