Why create Building a Safe & Strong Marriage?
Building a Safe & Strong Marriage is a shared experience that seeks to strengthen your relationship and give you the tools to build a great marriage. We believe that strong, healthy marriages leave a wonderful legacy, benefiting children, church communities and the wider society.
Benefit from other couples’ experience and insights, and follow their journey as you travel yours.
“It is our hope that each couple completing this course will come away with the sense that their marriage is stronger and healthier, that the information and activities in the course would draw a couple closer to each other, enabling them to feel safe, to share honestly and to support each other through the challenges of life that we all face.
Ultimately, we hope the legacy of this course will bring blessing to all who are influenced by these safe and strong marriages.”

About Building a Safe & Strong Marriage
Building a Safe & Strong Marriage is the culmination of 15 years teaching by Keith & Sarah Condie. This biblically-based course uses the tenets of the Bible, combined with current marriage research to help couples think through how to make their marriage better.
At times it may be challenging, but this marriage course will provide you with the tools and pathways to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your marriage and how you can improve it.
Building a Safe & Strong Marriage is available in the following formats:
Online – making it easy for couples to work through together from home at a time that works for them.
In person – making it easy for churches to run a marriage enrichment course for church members and their broader community. All resources to run the course are provided.
“Marriage is not a big thing, marriage is a million little things”
Is this online marriage course for me?
We believe this course will be good for your marriage. You can enrich your marriage from the comfort of home at a time that works best for you. Just set aside a block of time each week to work through the course together.
Building a Safe & Strong Marriage draws upon wisdom from two main sources: the Bible and marriage research. Much of what the research affirms about healthy and happy marriages is consistent with principles outlined in the Bible. We believe this course will benefit any marriage, even if participants don’t share our faith commitment.
How the Building Marriage course works
There are five sessions in the online course. In each session, there are a number of short videos, which includes input from Keith and Sarah, and from couples who share about their marriage. There are a number of breaks in each session for you to chat together using the questions and activities provided in the course workbook.
Once you have access to the course via our online store, you will have 10 weeks to complete it. As a rough guide there is enough content in each session to fill 2 hours. You may want to work through some of the activities and questions more slowly.
We recommend you work through this online course on a computer or tablet device such as an iPad. There’s a comprehensive workbook to interact with on the same device or on a smart phone – so you can make use of more than one device. Alternatively, you can print out the workbook if you prefer to handwrite notes and answers to activities.
How much does Building Marriage cost?
The Building Marriage course is currently available for $59.95 per couple, to complete at home. This will provide you with access to the online course for 10 weeks, which is ample time to complete the 5 sessions within the Building a Safe & Strong Marriage course.
