Youâre in Love. Now Letâs Get You Ready.
 prEquipped is more than a course â itâs a relationship workout that helps you build the kind of marriage youâll still love 50 years from now.
prEquipped is the online premarital course that helps you build connection, handle conflict, and walk into marriage with confidence.
Get the tools, truth, and connection you need to build a marriage thatâs ready for the real world â not just the honeymoon.
Most couples spend months planning a wedding, but almost no time preparing for marriage.
Youâre smart. You love each other. But you still feel underprepared for real-world marriage challenges â communication breakdowns, financial stress, unmet expectations, and the baggage that always surfaces when life gets real.
You shouldnât have to enter marriage unprepared just because no one showed you how.
They Loved Each Other. But Love Wasnât the Issue.
Most couples donât fail because of a lack of love (at first).
They fail because they werenât equipped.
They didnât know:
- How to communicate clearly under stress
- How to handle conflict without hurting each other
- How their past would show up in their present
đAnd thatâs why nearly 50% of couples donât make itâbecause they werenât equipped when it mattered most.
