Prepare

Prepare to Last held at WinShape Retreat gets you ready for the most important commitment you will make in your life.

Prepare to Last

A pre-marital program designed to prepare engaged couples and those considering engagement for a successful Christian marriage.


You must pass a test before you’re licensed to drive, yet you can get a marriage license for just a few bucks. A successful relationship requires more preparation than an elaborate wedding. During Prepare to Last, you’ll learn about yourselves and gain deep insights into what makes for a healthy relationship and a fulfilling marriage.


All of this takes place in an adventurous, fun-filled environment featuring ropes activities, time for personal reflection as a couple, and energetic worship.

Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley

The Wholehearted Marriage

In order for intimacy and deep connection to occur in a marriage, two hearts must be open to each other. On the other hand, the common thread in almost every couple who is seeking help for their marriage is that either one or both people have shut their hearts down. And a closed heart is the “kiss of death” to a marriage! Learn why King Solomon wisely encouraged us to “guard our heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” We say it is also the wellspring of a great marriage.
