You want to help broken marriages. We can help you do that.

Focus on the Family’s Hope Restored marriage intensive program is a resource for pastors who wish they had the time or expertise to deal with a marriage crisis in their church.

You shouldn't have to watch marriages in your church fall apart.

Focus on the family is committed to helping you help couples survive - and thrive

What is a Hope Restored marriage intensive?

  • A year’s worth of counseling in 3-5 days
  • Licensed Christian counselors help couples get to the root of their issues in a safe environment
  • Biblically-based counseling that gives couples the tools they need to move forward
  • Addresses issues regarding communication, intimacy, infidelity, financial strains, blended families, children, and career conflicts
  • Locations in Missouri, Michigan, and Georgia

Even with weekly marriage counseling, the start-and-stop of 50-minute sessions can make it difficult to get to root issues. Couples come in, unpack the week, go home, and experience more conflict. Then do it all over again. An intensive allows couples the gift of uninterrupted time, which allows our counselors to help them make the progress they want.

As a pastor, you probably have too much on your plate. It can feel intimidating to think of getting involved in a serious marital crisis situation. 

We take the burden off of you by providing the time and expertise needed to solve challenging marriage problems.
