Our Spiritual Views
The Spirituality of Marriage Rediscovery
Marriage Rediscovery, first and foremost, welcomes and embraces people of all faith tradition, as well as those of no faith, without any form of judgement. Our program is based on Christian biblical principles with regard to relationships, but not tied to any specific denomination.
How Our Spiritual Views Relate to Christians Participating in our Program
Christians of all denominations have beliefs based in tradition, which divide the Church. However, when it comes to purely biblical concepts, especially in how they relate to the covenant of marriage, the vast majority of Christian biblical teachings are shared among almost all denominations. Our program focuses on these common beliefs, and stays away from specific denominational tradition.
How Our Spiritual Views Relate to Non-Christians Participating in our Program
We do not believe that marriage is a document you sign in city hall. We believe that marriage is a covenant. We welcome cohabiting couples with open arms. During our program, we do address the concept of a covenant marriage, and make the case for why we believe it matters. But we leave it for couples participating to take these messages as part of a whole set of concepts, and apply them personally as they believe.

How We Address Same-Sex Relationships?
Marriage Rediscovery is dedicated to helping both healthy and struggling marriages by all sorts of means, and based on biblical principles. We encourage and welcome anyone to attend our events. However, it is very important to note that all of our material is is referenced in terms of a traditional biblical marriage between a man and a woman, as well as the traditional nuclear family. All of our presentations are also presented by male-female married couples, and they share from that perspective. If a same-sex couple chooses to attend, it is important to accept the perspective the program is presented from, and the couple should be comfortable with the program as it is. With this in mind, we also believe that our program can easily be adapted to be of great benefit for same-sex marriages, and would be happy to provide materials and assistance to help in such an endeavor.
