LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION – Building Your Marriage Foundation

0

Welcome to Your Marriage Journey

Every thriving marriage is built on a solid foundation. Think of your relationship like a house—without strong pillars supporting it, even the most beautiful structure will eventually crack and crumble. But with the right support system in place, your marriage can weather any storm and grow stronger over time.

In this course, you’ll discover the five essential pillars that successful couples use to build marriages that don’t just survive, but truly thrive:

  1. Communication – The bridge that connects two hearts
  2. Trust & Transparency – The safety that allows love to flourish
  3. Intimacy & Connection – The closeness that keeps the spark alive
  4. Shared Vision & Goals – The roadmap for your future together
  5. Conflict Resolution – The tools to turn disagreements into growth

Why These Five Pillars?

After working with hundreds of couples, we’ve identified these five areas as the most critical for marital success. When all five pillars are strong, couples report higher satisfaction, deeper connection, and greater resilience during difficult times. When even one pillar is weak, it creates stress on the entire relationship.

The good news? Every pillar can be strengthened with awareness, intention, and practice.

How This Course Works

Each lesson focuses on one pillar. You’ll learn:

  • Why this pillar matters for your marriage
  • Signs your pillar is strong or needs attention
  • Practical strategies to strengthen this area
  • Common mistakes couples make

After each lesson, you’ll take a short quiz to reinforce key concepts, then complete a couple’s exercise together to immediately apply what you’ve learned.

Getting the Most From This Course

  • Go through it together – Learning as a team multiplies the impact
  • Be honest – Real growth requires real honesty about where you are
  • Take your time – Don’t rush through the exercises
  • Stay curious – Approach this with openness, not judgment
  • Take notes – Jot down insights and “aha moments”

Remember: The strongest marriages aren’t built by perfect people—they’re built by committed people who keep showing up to do the work.

Let’s begin building your thriving marriage!
