Step #1
Review the Discover the Love of Your Life All Over Again DVD video kit

Join the Rosberg's in an intimate living room setting as they teach couples to divorce-proof their marriage using six secrets to a forever marriage. Through encouragement, accountability, scriptural evidence and prayer, personal reflection time, and spousal sharing times - each couples will learn where their marriage is on the marriage map and how to reclaim God’s dream for your marriage. This eight-week study is ideal for couples, small groups, Sunday schools, churches, bible study groups, and can be adapted for marriage retreats. For each of the group sessions, we recommend couples share the 6 Secrets to a Lasting Love book and each have their own Discover the Love of Your Life All Over Again handbook (for groups that meet 45-60 minutes) or workbook (for groups that meet 1 ½- 2 hour). Order your DVD kit today by simply calling 1-888-608-COACH or click HERE.


Step #2
Determine who will host the group and invite others to join you in the workbook study

Host a small group or pass along the information to someone who will host a group. The DVDs were created to allow the Rosberg's to lead your small group!  The material is designed for a lot of group interaction, so don't feel like you have to "teach" the group.  It's much easier to act as a host or facilitator to get the discussion going and then participate with the rest of the group.  Don't feel that you have to be the one with all the experience.  Use this time to grow and learn together.

These small groups are a great way for couples to work through the great marriage experience principles and experience what God intends for each couple. Gather a few friends and neighbors and invite them to journey through this study with you. Share with them that the material is created to help people learn the principles for a solid marriage relationship. This eight-week study offers encouragement, accountability, prayer, personal reflection time, and sharing times with your spouse. This study is also great for couples to do by themselves or for adult Sunday school classes. Click HERE for more tips and suggestions on starting your small group.

Share with us how your small group has benefited from the great marriage experience materials.  Email the good news and a photo of your small group to info@drgaryandbarb.com and we'll publish your story!

Step #3

Order the resources needed to launch your small group.

 

Each person participating in the study will need a workbook or handbook.  Couples can share the accompanying book.  Couples Packs, including 1 book and 2 workbooks, are available for a discounted rate through America's FamilyCoaches. Click HERE to order or call 1-888-608-COACH. You can also order Our Covenant Home certificates for couples that choose to sign the marriage covenant.  Click HERE to order or call 1-888-608-COACH. Please allow two weeks for shipment of your resources.

Step #4
Launch your small group (at church or in your home)
Now that you have your group together, it's time to launch your study.

From this study, you will learn how to:

  • meet your spouse’s needs
  • heal hurts in your marriage
  • guard your marriage
  • renew your love

Everything you need to host this study is spelled out for you in the back of the workbook or download the host guide for the handbook. Pray for your group that marriages will be strengthened and changed through the material. Share with your pastor that you’re hosting this study.  Pastors are always interested in what their people are doing to grow their personal relationships with Jesus and the relationship with their spouse.

Step #5
Have a covenant celebration
At the end of your first small group study, couples are encouraged to sign the “Our Covenant Home” certificate as a commitment to stay together and exercise the principles of the great marriage experience in their marriage. This beautifully designed covenant by nationally known Christian artist, Timothy Botts, is suitable for framing to be hung in your home as a testament to your family and friends of your commitment. Invite your pastor, family, and friends to witness the signing of the Covenant. Take pictures, eat wedding cake, and enjoy the celebration!  Click HERE to order your covenants.

By signing the “Covenant Home” certificate:
  • couples make a public commitment among family and friends to stay together ‘til death do they part
  • friends and family members witness the recommitment and are encouraged to stick with each couple to help them through life's trials that may test the marriage commitment
  • couples strengthen the marriage bond and have a beautiful document suitable for hanging in their home as a constant reminder of their commitment to each other

Step #6
Join the Coaches Club
No matter what stage of marriage you're in, Dr. Gary & Barb Rosberg, Your Marriage Coaches, will take your marriage to the next level.  Dr. Gary & Barb want to come along side of you every month to drill down on a practical, focused topic to strengthen your relationship. Click HERE to learn more about coaches club.

Step #7
Continue with additional small group studies
Two other studies are available with more soon to be released. These next studies help couples go in depth into each of the specific divorce-proofing principles. Through The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women and the Serving Love workbook you will experience:
  • Unconditional love, which allows you and your spouse to feel secure and accepted no matter what happens
  • Intimacy, which helps you experience oneness with your spouse
  • Companionship, which sustains your friendship and enjoyment of each other
  • Encouragement, which affirms to your spouse that you are cheering him or her on all the way
  • Spiritual intimacy and connection, which fulfills the desire to experience God’s love with another person

Click HERE to view a sample chapter of the Serving Love workbook.
In the future, a DVD series on Serving Love will be produced.

Guard Your Heart and the Guarding Love workbook will:
  • Guard your marriage from letting the pressures of life divide you and your spouse
  • Guard against improper relationships that can destroy your marriage
  • Guard against lifestyles that don’t give you time to cultivate your marriage
  • Strengthen the relationship you have with your spouse
  • Guard your spouse’s heart by expressing your love and concern

Click HERE to view a sample chapter of the Guarding Love workbook.

You’ll find that by studying the Divorce-Proofing library of resources, your marriage relationship will be strengthened and your family impacted for generations to come.

Step #8
Take this message to your church
Now that you’ve experienced first-hand what it means to go through The Great Marriage Experience, consider bringing The Great Marriage Experience material to your church for other small groups, adult Sunday schools, or for an entire church-wide campaign.

Imagine what it would be like if people all across America were taking a stand and building Covenant Homes. Imagine the strength of your church if couples were purposely focused on growing their marriages and building healthy homes. Imagine the impact this movement will have on future generations as children grow up in secure homes where mom and dad have committed to working on their relationship. You can do it and we’re here to help. Together, let’s build Covenant Homes.

End Goal = A Covenant Home equipped with God’s plan
for a healthy, biblical, vibrant marriage.
