Do you have a heart for helping couples? Hosting a CoupleTalk class is easy! There is no special training required to host a program – just an open living room or classroom. Hosting a CoupleTalk class is a great way to support couples in your church, home fellowship or small group. Don’t let public speaking anxiety keep you from making a positive impact. Our CoupleTalk tips will help you host like a pro.

As a Host, your role is simply to invite couples, provide the setting, and then to encourage them as they  do CoupleTalk. You and your partner can also participate in the program yourselves while you host. And there’s no need to be an expert – all the teaching is done on the video.

Every session combines teaching, personal reflection and couple exercises. We provide short Host Videos to prepare you for what’s coming in each session. During the session exercises, an on-screen timer appears - freeing you from the hassle of pausing and restarting the video. You just press PLAY to start each session and let it go to the end without stopping. Choose the session length that fits your group and time slot, and you’re ready!

There are many ways to Host a CoupleTalk class:

Start small with your friends. A great way to begin as a CoupleTalk Host is to invite your couples home fellowship to do the program with you in your home. The home should have enough space for couples to spread out a little during practice times, and it’s nice if there’s a larger TV screen or monitor.

Host a CoupleTalk class at your church. It could be one of your church’s evening or weekend program offerings. You can host a class of a few couples, dozens of people – or even hundreds of couples at your church. Invite the community as an outreach!

Host the program on Sunday mornings. CoupleTalk can be used in couple-oriented adult fellowship groups at church. The various session lengths assures a fit for any class.

Boost your marriage ministry at church. After a CoupleTalk class, those participants often have changed marriages and want to help other couples. These motivated couples can host their own classes, or become in-class coaches helping relationships in future classes.
