Battle for Your Marriage

In Your Marriage, There’s More at Stake than You Can Imagine

You’ve entered the Battle for Your Heart and experienced the transformation that’s possible when you live from your whole heart in authentic Biblical community. You’ve taken risks and fought for your own heart and those of the men or women on your team.  But what does it look like to engage the Battle for the Heart in the riskiest of all relationships – your marriage?

That’s the adventure that awaits you in The Battle for the Heart of Marriage. This year-long process, offered exclusively to husbands and wives who have both completed the Battle for the Heart, takes couples deeper into the Four Spiritual Realities.

Battle for Your Marriage teams consist of 3-4 couples who have completed the individual Battle for the Heart tracks.

What Past Participants are Saying

  • “Although it felt scary at first, we soon found being in a group with other couples very comforting and family-like. We had never experienced that kind of transparency among couples, and it was unique in a positive way. A profound truth that we learned through this experience was the power the aligned and unified couple to represent Christ as a whole a more thorough and clear image of Christ than we as individuals can bring.”

  • “Recognizing how evil hunted us individually in the Battle for Women's Hearts and Battle for Men's Hearts was eye opening and transforming to each of us. Yet for us, discovering how evil hunts us in marriage relationship was a stunning difference. Evil had hunted our marriage skillfully. We experienced this familiar pattern of unmet desire and sabotage over and over again, even though the circumstances might look different each time. In the Battle for Your Marriage we were able to untangle our fear and pride dance within a supportive fellowship. This gave us a safe place to admit how the way of pride was keeping us from experiencing the richness that God had for us in our marriage.”

  • “I feel like we are about to start a new chapter in our marriage and our family. The body of Christ played a huge role in a way I have never experienced by loving us and covering us well. It was an affirmation of hard work and a charge/encouragement to keep fighting on.”

  • “I have been a part of several marriage enrichment experiences. This process is not just another retreat or get away or fix to your marital problems. The power is in the combination of Biblical teaching, trained and equipped facilitators, prayerful preparation, excellent venue and team commitment to one another as the body of Christ for one another.”
