The Art of Marriage brings together some of the most respected and influential pastors and experts on marriage and family all in one setting. It also brings a fresh approach to a video event by weaving together some of the following elements to help couples fully experience God’s design for marriage:

• engaging stories
• real-life testimonies
• man-on-the-street interviews
• humorous vignettes

The Art of Marriage is a new one-and-a-half day video event built on the same biblically based content as our Weekend to Remember marriage getaway. Designed to be used by churches, small groups or as a community wide event, The Art of Marriage equips those with a passion for building godly marriages to reach thousands of couples at any time and any place.
 

The Art of Marriage consists of six video sessions and an accompanying manual that provides couples with projects to help apply the principles taught during each session. The manual is also designed for couples to use after the event by offering articles, date night ideas, and useful tips for continuing to strengthen their marriage.
