We are a Christian marriage ministry devoted to helping premarital couples prepare for marriage and to supporting marriages. The admonition to build our life (marriage) upon the rock is our impetus. Matt 7:24-27
As the years pass, romance and adventure commonly grow into a fuller vision of love—a vision of honoring God in our marriages and of going the distance.
We’re here to nourish that growth.
Going the Distance In Marriage
Testimonies
Preparing for marriage with Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock was more in-depth than expected and covered sensitive yet extremely important areas. We learned more about each other (and ourselves) by preparing with this resource than we did the entire year we dated.
Pastors, counselors, and couples, will do well to use this book. Many premarital books cover surface-level issues. This book is different; it addresses deep and critical issues that occur in relationships and will truly help prepare couples for the challenges ahead.
Every couple that I've taken through premarital counseling with this workbook has greatly appreciated it. I especially appreciate its emphasis covenant. I talk about that a lot in our sessions and make it prominent in every marriage ceremony.

Using Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock to prepare for marriage a blessing. With it we were able to confirm that our beliefs were in alignment, work out some difficult situations, and minute details of our relationship that we would never have thought to talk about.

Mike and Jewel were premarital mentors at our church. Their book, Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock, is the most comprehensive resource I have seen. It’s also an excellent resource that we use for mentoring married couples, which is a growing need within the Body of Christ.

Every couple would be fortunate to have this book to help prepare for marriage. We know Mike and Jewel, and can confidently say the only thing better than this premarital workbook would be the personal mentoring by them for any couple preparing for marriage.

All the topics in your book are essential for couples to discuss openly and thoroughly prior to marriage.
We wish we had this when we were getting married. Thanks for investing the time to prepare such exceptional material. It's been a great blessing for us.

The responsibility a pastor has toward couples is huge! No pastor wants to see marriages struggle or end in divorce. Shepherding couples so they realize God’s plan for marriage and helping them prepare for marriage is of the utmost importance.
