FAQ's

Do we need trained facilitators?

You won't need trained facilitators, however it would be wise to have an experienced couple to facilitate. The videos will speak for themselves, however you will need a person to lead discussions (questions are included in the Leader's Guide).

How will the course materials be delivered?

Once you register, you will be sent a link to your personal portal where you can watch the pre-recorded videos whenever and wherever you like (as long as there is internet).

Can we use this for premarital or counseling follow-up?

Of course! Pastors or counselors can assign the videos for couples before marriage or while married. There will only be one church login, so the email and password will need to be shared.

Will Fred be available if we get stuck?

Fred will be available for technical issues with the course and will also be available for couples coaching (additional cost). You can also join our facebook group and post questions for support there as well!

How long is the course?

The course has over 4 hours of biblically-grounded content. Each lesson is between 7 and 19 minutes each, so we typically recommend 2-3 lessons per Group meeting or Sunday School Teaching. This will allow 2-3 Group Sessions per Module (typically 5 lessons each). In the Leader Guide, you will see our suggestions for you, however you have the freedom to watch as many videos as your time allows. For retreats, you may want to watch 1 Module per session.
