BREAKOUT SESSIONS
United in Prayer
Prayer is one of the most intimate and unifying rhythms a couple can share. This breakout teaches couples how to incorporate prayer into daily life, how to pray over each other’s needs, and how spiritual unity strengthens emotional and relational unity. With guided examples and practical tools, couples learn how to make prayer a natural, powerful part of their marriage—inviting God to align their hearts, dreams, and future.

When the Vision Changes
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. In this breakout, we’ll talk about what happens when your vision changes—whether due to unexpected circumstances, loss, transition, or shifting priorities. You’ll learn how to communicate honestly about changing expectations, stay unified as a couple, and move forward with clarity and hope even when the path looks different than you imagined.

Navigating Parenting Together
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but it does work best when you’re on the same page. In this session, we’ll explore how to communicate effectively about parenting decisions, create a shared vision for your family, and navigate difficult parenting challenges with clarity and confidence. You’ll leave with practical tools and a starting framework for a family vision statement that fits real life.

This session helps couples explore how work, family responsibilities, and personal goals intersect with their shared vision. Through discussion and practical exercises, couples will identify strategies to prioritize their relationship, support one another, and create a balanced, aligned life that reflects their shared values and long-term goals.
