Most marriage counseling fails because it tries to fix the relationship without healing the individuals. Two broken people cannot build a whole marriage. This course takes a different approach — using the 6-R model to heal each partner individually while simultaneously rebuilding the marriage covenant. You will learn premarital counseling (readiness assessment, compatibility evaluation), marriage restoration (after betrayal, conflict, disconnection), and family systems restoration (how wounded parents wound children).
Learn to counsel couples and families using the Arukah framework. Understand how individual brokenness destroys marriages and how dual restoration can rebuild covenant relationships.
Study the biblical foundation of marriage as covenant, not contract. Understand how this changes everything about marriage counseling.
