Abstract

This project addressed the inaccessibility of premarital-care resources in the church for deaf couples whose first language in American Sign Language (ASL). Using case study methodology, ten deaf married couples were interviewed about their experiences with premarital care. Four central issues were addressed: the couple's attitudes toward premarital care; the perceived competency of the care provider; the process and approach(es) of premarital care that the couple received; and follow-up provided by the care provider. Major themes and resulting recommendations for ministry applications were offered.
