- Abstract
- The project was designed to increase the marital health of couples who had relocated to urban areas for the purpose of church planting within the eighteen months preceding their participation in the project. The project sought to increase marital health through the use of a five-week immersive process that included daily engagement with Scripture and other written content, discussion-based engagement with peer couples, and a weekly date night experience for each couple. Marital health was measured using a twenty-item, six-point Likert scale survey to measure the couple’s perception of five critical areas of their marriage: conflict resolution, personal finance, sex and physical intimacy, ministry challenges, and emotional depth and connectedness. The survey was taken by all participants in identical form before and after the five-week program. The project included three goals: 1) the enlistment of ten couples who had relocated to urban areas in the preceding eighteen months, 2) a twenty percent positive shift in half of participating couples, and 3) the absorption of a helpful marriage principle or habit by half of all individual participants. The project met all three of these goals. The project was ultimately intended to combine academic inquiry and practical methodology to make a meaningful contribution to the health of new churches and the couples who relocate to plant them.
