"Dr. Ronnie Gaines’s Master Level Coaching Master Class has been extremely instrumental in my premarital preparation for couples prior to marriage. Couples that have utilized this material have really enjoyed it and feel better prepared for entering their marriage covenant. In addition, I find it helpful as just an overall marriage enrichment for all couples. My wife and I personally have enjoyed using the material as a refresher ourselves. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!" A. H. Oklahoma
One of the most disheartening things in a church is to see one of your couples in conflict and ultimately the relationship fails and ends in divorce!
Unfortunately, this happens too often and one of them remains in the church while the other one leaves.
Just as this is tragic for the couples, so is the lack of the ability for leaders in the church to be equipped and prepared with the right content to coach couples to health before the marriage fails.
And, while your church has a BIG vision for the health of marriages, premarital and marriage crisis coaching may be frustrating at times. Yet, you have the heart and desire to develop whatever it takes to bring health and stability to relationships.
But, it still brings us back to this question...what content does it take to bring about marital health?
Hi, I'm Dr. Ronnie Gaines
I am a pastor, professor, the author of BFF: Becoming Your Spouses Best Friend Again, and the host of the Master Level Marriage Podcast.
In my first years of ministry, in the early 2000's, I began to coach married couples immediately. I saw a huge need to help couples, not only in premarital coaching, but also those in crisis.
I started this process on a small scale as I had not been in this capacity before. I felt like I wasn't prepared or equipped with the right content to help couples to marriage success.
I knew that if I was going to be effective I MUST get more educated
and equipped to do so. Marriage crisis and marriage failure was not going to end
anytime soon. In fact, over the years, the divorce rate rose.
To make things more difficult, people began to see me as an expert counselor and it seemed that they thought I had all of the answers and I did not want them to think that I was incapable.
I knew that I had to do something to increase my knowledge!
In 2014 I finished my Master's in Marital and Family Therapy and worked as a therapist in a counseling firm for about five years. Here is where I saw a multitude of couples in a professional setting. I was able to implement many of the techniques, approaches, and strategies found in every preverbal counselor's handbook.
This just wasn't enough for me; I needed more. So, I immediately launched into a doctoral degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling and here is where I landed in my wheelhouse. The therapeutic approaches were not as effective as what I thought they could be nor was I seeing the results that were needed for the health of couples. It's not that the methods and approaches were not needed, but it just wasn't producing the results that I wanted.
I am sharing this because this is what I want for you!
