“The Journey to Usness”
MarriageSkills is a 8–10 week, Christ-centered workshop designed to help couples restore connection and deepen intimacy through God’s transforming grace. In this comprehensive experience, you’ll learn to recognize and break destructive patterns, heal old wounds, and practice healthy ways of relating built on responsibility, love, respect, and trust. Together, couples will explore their pain and peace cycles and rediscover the sacred “usness” that God designed for marriage.
Each MarriageSkills Workshop is offered in an intimate group setting—typically five couples—guided by a certified TRR Facilitator Couple who walks with you through each step of the process.
Completion of both MenSkills and WomenSkills workshops is required prior to attending MarriageSkills. To learn more about these foundational programs, visit our MenSkills and WomenSkills pages.

The Ahl’s story of how the Skills Workshops opened their eyes to the truth of their partner’s identity and how it restored their marriage.
“The truth about who Jesus says we are and who he is changes everything, how we interact with each other, our love for each other and how we live it out.” -Jen

Biblical Marriage is not a contract mandated by the state—it is a covenant between man and God.
Human marriages are meant to be like God’s marriage covenant to His people in both purpose and permanence. The marriage covenant provides us with a clue to understanding the very heart of God and helps us understand God’s redemptive purpose for all mankind. It is through Christian marriage that the world can observe and learn of God’s love, mercy, and grace.
Strengthen, heal, renew and give life to your marriage by participating in a Marriage Skills workshop.
