Here’s what’s packed into your Marriage IRL experience:
8 Weekly Live Sessions (60 minutes each)
Think real talk—not lectures. We’re talking tools, convos, and connection that help you build a relationship that’s not just solid... but straight-up unstoppable.
2 Relationship Personality Assessments
You’ll uncover your strengths, differences, and what makes you work as a couple. No generic advice—just custom insights made for your dynamic.
Interactive Playbooks + Take-Action Exercises
No boring worksheets here. These are bite-sized, practical tools you’ll actually want to use in real life (yes, even during those “we need to talk” moments).
1 Private Coaching Session
Get one-on-one time to break down your results, celebrate your wins, and walk away with a game plan that’s all about thriving together—not just surviving.
Let’s Talk Value:
Private 1-on-1 Premarital Counseling usually runs around $1500—and that’s just for the basics.
Marriage IRL gives you the same high-level tools, support and assessments for $250 less—thanks to the power of the group format (and some smart budgeting).
More impact. Less cash. Plus, the bonus of sharing the journey with other couples who get it!
Budget-Friendly:
We get it—weddings aren’t cheap, and neither is real life.
That’s why we’ve got flexible payment plans to make sure nothing stands between you and a rock-solid start to your forever.
No stress, no pressure—just a smarter way to invest in your relationship.

Marriage IRL is an 8-week virtual experience designed for engaged couples (or those seriously thinking about marriage) who want to build a relationship that actually lasts. You’ll join a group of other couples to learn, talk, and grow together—covering everything from communication and conflict to intimacy and finances. Think of it as marriage prep, but without the boring lectures.
Nope! While Marriage IRL is designed for engaged couples, it’s also perfect for anyone in a serious relationship who wants to prepare for marriage the right way and avoid common struggles later. If you and your partner are talking about forever, you belong here.
You can choose from the following options:
Summer- June 3-July 22, 2025
Fall- September 2-October 21, 2025
Winter- November 4-December 23, 2025
Sessions are held virtually via Google Meet. Sessions will not be recorded, so if you miss one, you'll have the option to catch up in a future session should a space be available.
Each session is about 60–90 minutes, plus a little time for optional relationship-building exercises during the week (because the real growth happens when you actually apply what you learn). But don’t worry—this isn’t homework; it’s fun, meaningful stuff that actually makes your relationship better.
Both! You’ll be part of a supportive group of couples, but you’ll also get one complimentary private session for personalized guidance. That way, if there’s something specific you and your partner want to work through, you’ll have a dedicated space for it.
The full 8-week experience—including the Prepare-Enrich Assessment, expert-led sessions, educational materials, and a private couples session—is $1250 per couple. We understand this is quite an investment so we've made the following payment plans available for those unable to pay in full:
Split it up: Pay a deposit of $625 at registration and the rest one week before the first session begins.
Pay Later Option: Spread the cost into manageable installments with Paypal's Pay Later Program. Click HERE for more details.
