Foundations for Marriage
We are excited that you and your significant other are considering engagement and/or marriage, and we would like to assist you as you begin the premarital process.
Foundations for Marriage is a premarital class for both engaged and dating couples who are considering marriage. The program is an interactive look at God's design and purpose for marriage and each class is devoted to a specific topic (such as communication and conflict, finances, in-laws, and sexual intimacy).
While you are in the process of attending the classes, you will have the opportunity to meet with a staff-approved married mentor couple. The meetings will be structured around the PREPARE-ENRICH Inventory by Life Innovations, Inc. The inventory will reveal strengths and growth areas that you and your mentor couple will discuss. It is designed to help provide an objective focus on critical relationship issues.
This survey will be emailed to both of you after your registration has been received.
Spring 2012 Session: February 12—April 29.

Coach Couple Training
Each year 40–50 couples seek premarital counseling at Stonebriar. Most of them participate in Foundations for Marriage (FFM), our premarital ministry. Would you consider, as a couple, being a point of connection and grace for those who will attend our FFM class? There is a need and opportunity for married couples to serve as Coach Couples to those attending the FFM class.
Coach Couple Training is held at various times throughout the year. If you would like to register for future training sessions, please contact 469-252-5226.
The training will teach the purpose, process, and requirements. Serving as a Coach Couple is more relational than informational: authenticity, not perfection, is desired. As a Coach Couple, you simply provide a safe and welcoming environment for your assigned couple to consider marriage.
