Why This Matters

  • Couples are struggling — often alone
  • Many wait too long to ask for help
  • Small issues quietly become breaking points
  • Strong marriages impact kids, churches, and communities

Healthy marriages don’t just happen. They’re built — and often rebuilt — with support.

Become a MarriageTeam Coach

MarriageTeam Equips Couples to Help Couples

MarriageTeam trains and supports volunteer coach couples to walk alongside others in a meaningful, practical, Christ-centered way.

As a coach couple, you’ll:

  • Help couples improve communication and teamwork
  • Offer guidance without fixing or judging
  • Walk with couples through real-life challenges
  • Be part of a Christ-centered ministry making a tangible impact

You’re not expected to have all the answers.
You’re equipped to ask the right questions.

Empathy + Authority

Empathy

Most coach couples don’t feel “qualified” at first.
They simply know what it’s like to struggle—and what it takes to grow.

If you’ve faced challenges, learned skills, and leaned into growth, you already have something valuable to offer.

Authority

MarriageTeam has been equipping coach couples since 2006.
For two decades, our couple-to-couple coaching model has helped thousands of marriages strengthen, heal, and move forward.

You’ll never coach alone.

You’ll be trained, supported, and part of a larger community.

Ready To Become volunteer Marriage Coaches?

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ.  We are looking for volunteer, Christian couples who have a passion for helping couples improve their relationship and want to join our team as volunteers. The training is NOT offered as a commercial training for those seeking to become independent marriage coaches. We support churches in their marriage ministry by serving the couples they refer. The intake process we use  for couples requesting coaching is very important. We know the limits of our program, and if coaching is not a good fit, we want to connect couples to the best resource for their situation. While there is no cost to become a MarriageTeam coach, couples receiving coaching services pay a modest fee compared to traditional counseling costs. However, we never turn couples away for financial reasons, and partial scholarships are available for those who need financial assistance. We've found that couples who invest financially—even modestly—in coaching tend to experience better outcomes. Our coaches do not navigate this process on their own because marriage ministry is complex and often difficult. Having coached more than 2,000 couples, we support our coaches through challenging situations with strategies for helping their couples move forward. This type of support shows in our results: 89% of couples considering divorce before coaching decide to stay together after completing coaching. To become coaches, couples must complete 24 hours of training over two consecutive weekends.  If you have any questions, please give us a call at 360-450-6042 or email info@marriageteam.org.

What Coaching Is — and What It Isn’t

MarriageTeam coaches are not counselors or therapists.

Coaching is practical, forward-focused, and skill-based. Coach couples help guide conversations, encourage healthy communication, and support couples in creating clear agreements and accountability.

You won’t tell couples what to do.
You’ll help them decide together how they want to move forward.

MarriageTeam provides:

  • Training and materials
  • Clear coaching structure
  • Ongoing support and oversight

A proven, faith-based framework

Hear From Coach Couples

Hear from couples who stepped into coaching — and why it’s been meaningful for them.

Is Coaching a Good Fit for You?

Coaching may be a good fit if you:

  • Are committed to your own marriage
  • Are willing to learn and grow
  • Want to serve other couples with humility
  • Can offer time, consistency, and care
  • Believe strong marriages matter

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.

Take the First Step

If you feel a nudge toward helping other couples, we’d love to talk with you.

Coach Training Testimonials

“My wife and I have been through a seminary class on marriage counseling and have done premarital counseling as well as leading couples in classes on marriage issues. This material is extremely well written and organized and lays out the tools in such a usable way. This training is more helpful than all the previous training we’ve had.”

Vancouver. Husband

“I have been leading PREP and 7 Habits of Highly Effective Marriages training events for 10 years.  This program contains the same skills, but the coaching dynamic is tremendously more effective for implementing the skills.”

Tucson, Husband

“As a couple who has been serving in ministry for many years, we thought we’ve seen all the approaches out there.  This training has just blown us away and already transformed our outlook on our marriage.  I really believe every marriage would benefit from some coaching.  It’s a whole new way of thinking.”
