Partnership
How we live together can be a source of joy and of great conflict. God has shaped each of us in different ways and those differences are not wrong, just different. In this class we talk about what it means to be in a covenant relationship with your spouse and ways to build on each others strengths.

Message
Every marriage says something about the gospel whether we are intentional about it or not. When people look at our marriage are they drawn to God or do they see him as irrelevant? In this class we cover what the gospel looks like in a marriage along with ways to practically live those values out in everyday life.
