Leader Resources

Study Journals, recommended reading, and more

If you are leading The Marriage Course or The Pre-Marriage Course, you will need two copies of the relevant Guest Study Journal (one per person) for every couple taking your course. Covering the cost of the journals is appreciated by your guests, but if that is not possible, you can ask the couples to pay a registration fee that includes the journals. Hard copy journals are available in English and Spanish. Save by ordering in bulk. Order them HERE.

Note: In Marriage Builder, the course leader can access PDF versions of the journals in English and a variety of other languages.
