Marriage

Marriage is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make—second only to choosing Jesus Christ as your Savior. We believe marriage is a holy covenant designed by God to reflect His love and the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:23–25). Your wedding day is important, but preparing for a lifelong, Gospel-centered marriage is even more vital.

At Wheaton Bible Church, we are committed to discipling couples before and after marriage. Whether you are engaged or seriously dating, we invite you to take intentional steps toward building a strong foundation for your future together.

Re|Engage

We believe that every marriage can benefit from re|engage, whether couples are struggling to get along, the marriage seems broken, or they simply want to grow closer together relationally. The goal of re|engage is to fashion couples into better disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe as our hearts better align with God’s plan and desire for our lives; all relationships (including our marriages) will improve.

Grace Marriage is a year-long, Gospel-centered discipleship experience designed to enrich, protect, and grow your marriage. Through intentional time together, biblical guidance, and community support, you and your spouse will cultivate a relationship that reflects God’s grace.

This proactive marriage coaching isn’t counseling, therapy, or a seminar. It’s a grace-based approach that helps you “shift the drift,” strengthen communication, build connection, and keep your marriage thriving.

Everything needs attention to thrive… including your marriage. Whether your marriage is strong or struggling, new or seasoned, we invite you to take time for each other, grow closer to God, and let your marriage tell the story of His grace as you intentionally invest in your marriage.

Experience a different kind of date night! Take one Thursday evening a month to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect, reflect, and refocus on what matters most.

Who can attend?

Any married couple may attend. A couple does not have to be a member of Wheaton Bible Church to participate.

Start Date: March 26

Time: The fourth Thursday of every month. 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Cost: $189 per couple for the year (begins March 26)
If finances are a concern, contact Marriage Ministry Pastor Carlos Ludeña — we don’t want cost to be a barrier.

Pre-Marriage Mentoring

Pre-Marriage Mentoring is required for all couples getting married at Wheaton Bible Church or by a WBC pastor. We encourage couples to begin mentoring 4–6 months before their wedding date.
This process includes:

  • SYMBIS Assessment – A personalized tool to identify strengths and growth areas. Assessment must be taken prior to the workshop.
  • One-Day Workshop – Learn biblical principles for marriage and connect with mentor couples.
  • Mentor Sessions – 5–7 meetings with a mentor couple to review your assessment and grow together.
  • Pastoral Meetings – 2–3 sessions with the pastor officiating your wedding.

This is more than a checklist—it’s an investment in your lifelong journey together.

Becoming One Workshop

Kids Crew

While parents are welcome to attend our Thursday night programs and support groups, their kids/students (6 weeks – 8th grade) can have fun as they learn a biblical perspective on life’s hurts and disappointments, anchoring them in Christ.

Kids Crew is designed for kids and students whose families are going through changes or hardships such as separation, death, divorce, addiction, struggle, or any other trauma. Weekly support allows kids and students to express their feelings and meet others in similar circumstances.

Using biblically based curriculum, we work through topics such as:
• Building trust
• Dealing with anger
• Sad feelings
• Why God allows suffering

Our volunteers are dedicated and hopeful, believing that God is the great Healer. It is because of Him that we know change can happen! Leaders reinforce that God takes the circumstances of our lives and over time makes them into something good.

Kids Crew meets Thursday evenings during the fall (September through December) and winter/spring (January through May), taking a break during the summer.

Time: Thursday evenings 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Winter/Spring Semester - January 15 - April 23

Kids have fun as they discover a biblical perspective on dealing with life’s hurts and disappointments.
