REAL DISCIPLES
Couples sitting together in quiet conversation

Premarital course — seven sessions

Seven conversations before you say “I do”

Seven Conversations is a preparation course for couples. Over seven sessions you work through the questions that shape a marriage — story, faith, communication, conflict, money, intimacy and family — first on your own, then with each other. It works well on its own, and even better if you afterwards sit down with a mentor couple who have walked the road before you.

The seven sessions

  1. Story

    Where you have each come from, and the histories you bring into a marriage.

  2. Faith

    What you believe, how you pray, and the spiritual life you want to build together.

  3. Communication

    How you speak, listen, withdraw and repair when it matters most.

  4. Conflict

    Disagreement without damage: patterns, triggers and honest repair.

  5. Money

    Earning, spending, saving and giving as one household.

  6. Intimacy

    Sex, affection, expectation and the covenant of faithfulness.

  7. Family

    In-laws, children, boundaries and the home you intend to make.

How it works

Online prep, in person together

01

Work through it online

Each session gives you a short teaching, a set of private reflection questions, and one hard question to sit with. Go at your own pace.

02

Talk together

You choose what to share with each other. Everything you write stays private unless you decide otherwise.

03

Then sit down with a mentor couple

Many couples find it helpful to take each conversation to a married couple they trust and talk it through in person. That part is entirely up to you — nothing you write is ever shown to anyone.
