The Language of Marriage is a comprehensive, biblically-grounded online course designed to transform how married couples communicate with each other. Based on the profound truth that “what I speak to you, I am speaking into me,” this four-lesson course equips couples with practical tools and theological foundations to build stronger, more intimate, and God-honoring marriages through the power of their words.
Drawing from key Scriptures including Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 4:29, Malachi 2:14, and Proverbs 18:21, this course explores marriage as a sacred covenant before God—not merely a contract between two people. Participants will discover how to speak life into their relationship through four essential communication styles: covenant language (rooted in commitment), edifying language (words that build up), forgiving language (extending grace), and intimate language (creating deep connection).
What Makes This Course Unique
Unlike secular communication courses that focus solely on techniques, The Language of Marriage grounds every principle in Scripture and acknowledges God as the third cord in the marital relationship. This course recognizes that transformation comes not from human effort alone, but through the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through committed couples.
The course integrates theological depth with practical application, offering both the “why” (biblical foundation) and the “how” (actionable strategies) of Christ-centered communication. Each lesson builds upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive framework for lifelong marital growth.
