“The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:” Lk 20:34
Great marriages are a tribute to God’s ultimate work of grace in transforming lives through the power of love. Wholesome Marriages are testimonies to the relationship between Christ and His people, the Church. Eph. 5:30-32 When marriages fail, the clear witness for the Gospel is reduced and the unified oneness between Christ and His Bride greatly diminishes. HCM offers married couples 15 hours of intensive counseling consisting of 3 hour sessions spread over 5 days with the purpose of identifying and resolving emotional wounds, spiritual issues and strongholds that destroy intimacy and disrupt oneness in their marriage. God designed that marriage be a lasting and fulfilling treasure of companionship where both feel honored and cherished. Our goal is to help discover any issues that may be blocking a couple’s ability from experiencing emotional intimacy and to provide tools equipping them in experiencing the fullness of God’s design for love in their relationship. When the heart is open to “give and receive” love the potential for renewed oneness in the marriage as God intended can be restored. Gen. 2:24 “…they shall be one flesh” KJV

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD.” Pro 18:22
One of the most rewarding moments in ministry is to spend time with a couple planning for marriage. Pro. 30:19 States there are four things that are difficult to understand in the earth and one of them is: “…the way of a man with a virgin.” God alone knows and understands the secret that attracts two distinctly different individuals together. However, within the innocence, attraction and closeness that grows in developing relationships there are still two willful hearts that are packing learned ways to protect themselves from hurts they have experienced from their past. Consequently, they tend to carry these learned traits into the marriage relationship. A primary focus in assisting a couple prepare for marriage Is helping them identify and resolve issues buried within their heart that could potentially surface causing a reaction or resulting in a conflict. Our goal is to assist a couple toward “emotionally connecting” with each other and to equip them with practical ways to care for each other’s heart. God designed that a married couple be free to mutually meet each other’s need for love. Love is the catalyst that binds two hearts together and keeps a marriage secure. “Love never fails…” 1 Cor.13:8
