The call was inspiring and hearing how the other

The class was inspiring and hearing how the other couples met and hearing their stories some we could relate and some were learning and helpful. Thank you.

Good Course

I thought it was a good course, and it helps creates fruitful, although sometimes difficult conversations. We also liked that we were able to go through it at our own pace online. One piece of feedback we both thought was odd was how 5/6 couples had met each other while they were in other relationships. I understand you can’t help how/when you meet the right person. We just thought it was interesting how often this was the case and how casual they discussed that detail. It just felt a little off given the fact that’s its course on marriage.

Great program!!

Very great program that opened the door to a lot of enlightening discussions while also providing valuable information!

Marriage Preparation Course/Zoom Interactive Session

My fiancé and I enjoyed this course and the zoom interaction session with other engaged couples. Each section of the course was broken down for you and was easy to understand. I also enjoyed hearing everyone’s stories. Also, with our work schedules doing this online and at our own pace made it super easy to manage. I would definitely recommend this course!

Marriage Preparation

We have been doing Marriage Preparation for 20+ years. Have used other programs but this program has been the most comprehensive than the others. We incorporated the life skills program and it has been very engaging. We believe for our personalities the program has been the best.

Great experience

This was a very easy and organized guide to follow. We actually enjoyed going through everything and learned a lot, things we thought we already knew and new things about each other. I would recommend this process to anyone that is interested.

Great experience!

We had a great experience using Joy Filled Marriage! With my fiancé and I both working nights shift, doing this coarse online made it super manageable!
