A common baseline
The 6-Week Marriage Core
Every couple will complete the six core modules below.
1: Groundwork
Clearly understand the three foundational truths of marriage: the Gospel, love, and covenant.
2: Expectations
Complete the expectations assessment to learn what assumptions you have in your relationship.
3: Communication
Establish "peacetime and wartime strategies" for building better, more productive communication habits.
4: Intimacy
Learn how trust, transparency, and intimacy trace back to the Gospel.
5: Household
Decipher the "economies of the home" and build unity around the biggest stressors in marriage: money, priorities, and chores.
6: Purpose
Marriage matters for so many reasons beyond you! Discuss your purpose and build a plan to live in full light of the Gospel.
Every couple needs three things to flourish: connection, unity, and tools. Every session is designed with all three in mind:
- Gain UNITY through biblical teaching
- GROW CLOSER through connection assignments
- Learn useful TOOLS to apply truth for years to come
The 6-Week Core is built to help you get on the same page both now and for the rest of your marriage. Ready to get started?

We Believe
Hi, we’re Ryan & Selena Frederick. It’s great to meet you! We also believe that every couple can have a fulfilling, deep, and meaningful marriage (and family-life) when it’s built on the heart-transforming of the Gospel: love and covenant. That’s what this entire project is all about.
We are living evidence of what the Gospel can do when experienced by two hardened hearts in marriage. We hope to share that profound, life-changing message with every couple we meet.

This course is extremely enlightening and encouraging. It has equipped my marriage to not only prosper in this season but to continue to grow in love and root in scripture.
Testimonial
We loved this course! It was so helpful for us to set aside time to connect and refocus on what it means to have a biblical marriage. We loved that the topics and discussion questions went deep. It brought us closer and inspired us to be intentional in growing in our marriage and walk with the Lord.
Testimonial
We really enjoyed the course. It caused to slow down, think about and talk about topics that we don't usually talk about. It opened communication pathways that had grown stagnant. The worksheets gave us tangible tools to open discussion on safe ground. We will encourage other couples to take the course.
Testimonial
As someone newly-married, this course taught my wife and I how to better understand the purpose and significance of marriage, as well as understand tangibly how to develop a framework for a lasting marriage.
Where marriages thrive communities flourish. It's time we re-root our marriages in the only truth that sustains: the Gospel.
