Most churches want to support marriages. Fewer have figured out why so many couples never show up. The short answer is stigma. When people hear "marriage ministry," they assume it is for couples in trouble. So the couples who could benefit the most stay away, and the ministry quietly underperforms.
This video from JP De Gance walks through seven practical strategies for changing that culture. The goal is not just to increase attendance at a marriage event. It is to build a church environment where investing in your marriage feels as normal as attending a men’s group, a Bible study, or a Sunday service.
That shift takes intentional work. But when it happens, it changes everything.
