Marriage Adventure offers a unique, faith-based workshop experience tailored for husbands and wives who desire to focus on enhancing their communication skills, deepening their commitment, and fostering a stronger emotional connection.
-
Throughout the program, couples will have the opportunity to reflect on their relationship and develop practical strategies for maintaining a healthy partnership. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with valuable insights and tools that can be applied to strengthen their bond long after the experience concludes.
-
With a limited enrollment of 10-12 couples per session, the workshop provides a private and comfortable setting. Each couple will have their own designated table and space, facilitating collaboration and learning while maintaining a focus on their personal marriage journey without the pressure of interacting with other couples during the process.

Workshop facilitators are actively involved in their local churches and are committed to strengthening marriages through faith-based encouragement and connection
-
Marriage Adventure is a Missouri-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry sustained entirely through the generous support of previous workshop participants, alumni couples, and other supporters who believe in strengthening marriages.
-
Workshop leaders receive no salary or financial compensation for their involvement in this ministry. In fact, they not only volunteer their time, talents, and resources, but also personally contribute to help sponsor couples facing financial hardship or special circumstances.
-
Every dollar donated to Marriage Adventure goes directly toward helping offset the cost for couples attending the workshop. The average actual cost of the weekend—including two hotel nights, four meals, and all workshop materials—is approximately $800 per couple. However, because of the generosity of donors and alumni couples, the current registration fee is only $325 per couple.
-
As of March 2026, more than $80,000 has been provided on behalf of couples to help reduce the overall cost of attending Marriage Adventure.
