About The Marriage Point

The Marriage Point exists to provide counseling and training services to those wishing to improve the marital relationship. Our primary goal is to see couples and families experience marriage the way it was intended to be secure, intimate and passionate. We provide individual and couples counseling sessions as well as online classes to improve the marriages of those couples suffering from distress, disconnection or just stagnation. For more information on couples counseling services please click here. We recognize that sex is an important part of a martial relationship and that sexuality is an integral part of the human experience. We are trained to help couples and individuals explore their sexual experiences, process their concerns and improve their sex life. Please click here for a complete list of our sex therapy services. We also work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, anger and relational distress. We often address issues of spirituality, purpose, calling, career and personal development and as well as parenting concerns.

We provide training and teaching services to churches wishing to invest in, and strengthen the marriages of their congregants so that they may be empowered to change their communities with the message of unconditional love and hope. We provide training and consulting to church and community leaders wishing to take their churches and organizations into their intended purpose by helping them to experience personal growth and improve their interpersonal relationships. We believe that community impact must start with change at home. Please click here for more information about our training and teaching services for church groups and community organizations.
