Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate participant-perceived factors that would influence the learning experience in a marriage education program designed and led by their pastor in a Chinese ethnic local church in America.The study used the qualitative case study research technique. Twelve couples were assembled. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with them. The recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the constant comparative analysis method.Four themes emerged from the analysis: trustworthy pastor, ready participants, effective program, and complementary practices. The positive presence of these four themes create good learning experiences.
