When Jonathan and Tiana were planning their future together, distance was a challenge. With Jonathan deployed overseas
and Tiana in Texas, they had different time zones to navigate. A traditional marriage prep course just wasn’t an option.
That’s why they loved the flexibility of the Online Marriage Preparation course!
They could complete the lessons whenever it worked for them, turning their sessions into meaningful virtual “date nights”. They deepened their connection despite the miles between them.
Here’s how they explained it:
This online marriage preparation course was an incredible experience for my partner and me, especially given our unique situation with an overseas deployment and being in different time zones.
One of the best aspects of the course was the ability to complete the lessons and guided conversations at any time of day. Being in different time zones, we couldn’t have kept to a consistent date and time for a traditional class or session. However, the course allowed us to work through the materials when it was most convenient for both of us, making it easy to stay engaged. The guided conversations were particularly valuable. They helped us focus on the core beliefs and topics that are essential for a strong marriage. It was a great way to ensure we were aligned on important matters like communication styles, financial goals, and future expectations.
These discussions helped us build a deeper understanding of each other and highlighted areas where we needed to be in agreement before stepping into marriage. I’d recommend this course to any couple, especially those dealing with the challenges of long-distance relationships or unpredictable schedules. It provides professional insight in a flexible format, making it easy to maintain meaningful conversations about your future together, even when life gets busy or complicated. The tools and guidance we received will definitely set us up for success as we continue our journey toward marriage. – Tiana
I enjoyed the flexibility of the course and being able to space out the conversations over several months worked perfectly with our schedules, especially as I was deployed overseas. It turned what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable one. Each module gave us the chance to focus on one topic at a time, making it easier to absorb and apply what we learned without feeling overwhelmed. This course also became an opportunity for us to have regular “date nights,” even from a distance. We would plan virtual sessions where we’d discuss the materials and engage in meaningful conversations, all while staying connected despite the physical distance.
It was a great way to keep our bond strong during the deployment and ensure we were on the same page as we prepared for marriage. If you’re in a long-distance situation or simply need some flexibility, this course is a great fit. – Jonathan
