Healthy Marriages = Healthy Missions
Research shows that a main cause for missionary attrition is unhealthy marriages. If a couple does not learn how to resolve conflicts well through healthy communication and grace for one another, serious problems can occur on the mission field, often thousands of miles away from the support they need. Only a couple equipped with good self-care tools can learn to weather the storms of the typical pressures of living, ministering cross culturally.
The 8 Graces of Marriage
The following online discussion based marriage course was designed to give couples tools for having strong, healthy marriages before they launch overseas or while on the field.
How to get started:
The course involves watching 10 short teaching videos plus a lot of group and couple discussions; therefore, it is recommended the course be done with 2-4 couples.
