Building Blocks for Marriage

Build a strong foundation for your marriage based on biblical principles.

Whether you’re seriously dating, engaged, or recently married, Building Blocks opens the door to healthy communication, faith-based guidance, and practical skills for a strong, healthy marriage.

What is Building Blocks for Marriage?

Building Blocks is a three-session experience designed for couples who want to build strong foundations for marriage alongside their faith.

You and your partner will explore topics including:

  • Personality and family heritage
  • Biblical marriage
  • Prayer
  • Communication
  • Love languages
  • Sex and intimacy
  • Conflict resolution
  • Forgiveness

Each of the three sessions combines large-group teaching, small-group discussion facilitated by a married couple, and one-on-one time for you and your partner.

You’ll leave these sessions with practical tools, biblical wisdom, and a stronger foundation for your marriage.

Who is Building Blocks for?

Building Blocks is for couples at different stages of their relationship, including:

Seriously dating
You’re considering marriage and want to build a strong foundation before taking the next step.

Engaged
You’re preparing for marriage and want to foster meaningful conversations before the big day.

Recently married
You’re already married and want to keep investing in the life you’re building together.

You do not need to attend Crossroads or plan to be married by a Crossroads pastor to participate.
