Course Description

Before you can protect your marriage, grow your marriage, or even choose your marriage — you need to know what marriage actually is.

In a world where the definition of marriage is shifting, negotiated, and constantly redefined by culture, media, and personal preference, this course is a return to first principles. What Is Marriage? is a foundational course that explores the true origin, meaning, design, and purpose of marriage — drawing from Scripture, history, psychology, and the lived wisdom of those who have built lasting unions.

Whether you are single and curious, engaged and preparing, or married and wanting to rediscover the depth of your covenant — this course will give you a grounded, clear, and compelling vision of what marriage is truly for.

Course Outcomes

The biblical, historical, and cultural foundations of marriage

Course Modules

The origin of marriage — not as a social construct but as a divine institution. Exploring the 'why' before the 'how'.

The profound difference between a legal arrangement and a covenantal commitment — and how that shapes everything from how you argue to how you forgive.

What marriage was designed to produce: companionship, legacy, sanctification, and a picture of something greater.

A deep, honest, and biblical look at the role of a husband — servant-leadership, sacrificial love, and what it looks like in the 21st century.

A redeemed, empowering, and grounded exploration of what it means to be a wife — strength, wisdom, and the power of a woman who knows her assignment.

A capstone module where couples (or individuals) craft their own working definition of marriage — as a covenant statement they can return to.
