One For Life is a 8-week course written and designed specifically for those getting married for the very first time. 

Relationships span the entire spectrum of questions that could be asked.  No manual, no program, no counselor has the answer to every question. What you will find in this course are principles that, when applied, answer those eternal questions.

This won't be a "feel good" course where couples just sit back and soak up the material. Instead, it's an exciting, interactive, revealing time between couples that are going through the exact same things at the exact same time.
