Give couples a thoughtful, pastor-led preparation process without pretending pastoral care is therapy or legal advice. This 15-page toolkit includes six 60-75 minute sessions, leader notes, couple worksheets, a first-year support plan, and clear prompts for when qualified outside help is needed.

- Six guided sessions: covenant, communication, money, family, intimacy, and first-year practices
- Six printable couple worksheets
- Conversation prompts and practical next steps

Designed for pastors and trained church leaders serving engaged couples in small and rural churches.
