The Communication in Marriage Course is an eight-week program designed for couples who are either born again, or not! The material is formatted so that it can be used for pre-Christians, and is designed to be nonthreatening. It includes an opportunity to lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in week six. 

This course is available for purchase so that anyone can lead a Communication in Marriage course. It is recommended for a small group of 3-4 married couples plus a leader couple.

The material helps couples to understand each otherís thoughts, behaviors and needs. It covers the relational messages married couples often send when they donít understand their spouse's desires and thoughts. 

This combination of teaching, discussion and practical assignments has proven to be an effective tool in building stronger marriages and in helping couples to realize that the blessing of a strong marriage can best be realized through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  The teaching by Craig Hill, founder of Family Foundations International, comes on 3 DVDs. There is a detailed Leader's Guide to assist in leading the course. Each week's teaching can either be played during weekly sessions or listened to by the leaders and then taught. Additionally, there participant notebooks with 8 weekly handouts, which walk the participants through the material.

“This course provides couples with visual images, such as ‘love banks’ and ‘bear traps,’ that allow them to understand how problems have developed in their relationship.  Through new insights and understanding they are able to resolve these problems and improve communications.”

"We had awesome ministry at our recent Communication in Marriage course. There were were eleven participants including facilitators and one married, but separated lady. There were great testimonies all along and at the celebration dinner! Couples were able to communicate through issues as never before and really learned to deposit into their "love Banks" to promote healing and revival in their unions. The end resulted in a sign up of 14 participants for our next Communication in Marriage course!"
