This biblically based intensive approach to conflict resolution helps couples transform their marriages in one or two days, offering immediate hope and lasting change.
Mediators use cognitive dispute resolution techniques and practical exercises to help couples define their issues, realize their strengths, and learn methods for breaking their impasses. Marriage Mediation emphasizes improved communication about needs and expectations so couples can work out tangible solutions to conflict and set achievable goals. Mediators expertly de-escalate tense situations and offer a life-line to the future.
Marriage Mediation focuses on marital conflicts and the deeper issues that drive them. Couples learn healthy options for resolving disagreements that can also be applied to other relationships.

Who can benefit from Marriage Mediation?
Couples facing important decisions
Couples wanting to resolve issues once and for all instead of constantly fighting
Couples with intense marital struggles
An initial 60-minute virtual session will introduce the process and give each spouse dedicated time to express their individual perspectives. Together, you can decide if Marriage Mediation is right for you.
Both one-day and two-day mediation sessions are available.
Two 30-minute post-care virtual sessions are provided within a month after mediation.
A 90-minute crisis coaching option is available for immediate help.
Marriage Mediation is not counseling. If either spouse deals with mental health complications, individual counseling should be sought. Couples dealing with current addiction, adultery, or abuse are not candidates for Marriage Mediation until these issues are no longer actively happening.
What is the first step to Marriage Mediation?
Marriage Mediation is a real alternative to divorce.
Every couple experiences conflict, but that does not mean divorce is inevitable. Marriage Mediation allows couples to resolve their conflicts and keep their families intact. Many couples pursuing divorce say that if they had known about conflict resolution while they were married, they would not have needed to divorce.
The financial cost of divorce
Marriage is worth fighting for. The average cost of a divorce in the U.S. is $15,000–$20,000 per person and even higher for contentious custody or property divisions. Add in separate household living costs, alimony, and child support, and the impact multiplies even more.
The emotional cost of divorce
Research shows that divorce is a major life stressor that significantly increases the risk for anxiety and depression in men, women, and children. Children of divorce are at higher risk for lower academic achievement, which leads to decreased economic opportunities as adults.
