About the Institute

Prepare Couples. Equip Leaders. Strengthen Marriages. Restore Families.

The Covenant Marriage Care Institute is a professional marriage-care and facilitator-certification organization, powered by Save Marriage Solutions.

Our Core Philosophy

“Marriage preparation should prepare couples for covenant, not merely for a wedding.”

Too often, marriage preparation focuses on the logistics of a single day. The Institute was built on a different conviction: that couples deserve structured, honest, and faith-centered preparation for a lifelong covenant — and that the leaders who walk with them deserve real training, proven tools, and ongoing support.

What We Do

  • Marriage Preparation. Through Before the Vows (Avant les Vœux), we provide a structured, six-session premarital formation journey for engaged couples.
  • Facilitator Certification. We train and credential pastors, coaches, mentors, and marriage-care leaders to guide couples with confidence and consistency.
  • First-Year Follow-Up. Care doesn't end at the altar. We equip facilitators to walk with couples through their critical first year of marriage.
  • A Growing Covenant Care Ecosystem. Before the Vows is the flagship, Level One program within a broader vision for lifelong marriage care.

Who We Serve

We equip a wide range of leaders to prepare couples for covenant marriage.
