Fit To Be Tied
Program Overview:
Fit To Be Tied is a program designed to provide wise counsel for seriously dating
and engaged couples who anticipate getting married within the next 18 months.
The program possesses three major components: pre-marriage inventories, group
seminars, and individualized meetings with a mentor couple.
Pre-marriage Inventories:
The pre-marriage inventories include a Family Background
form, the DISC personality profile, and the Prepare
Inventory. Within the context of the mentoring relationship, these inventories
are designed to help the student couple understand more about themselves, one
another, and their relationship as a whole. They will also assist the couple
and their mentors in identifying areas of conflict or weakness, which should
be addressed in the mentoring process.
Group Seminars:
The group seminars are held at convenient times throughout school
year, providing helpful information on selected topics dealing with marriage
relationships. The subject of each seminar is as follows:
- Biblical Marriage Roles
- Personalities and Marriage
- Communication and Conflict Resolution
- Financial Management
- Intimacy in Marriage
Individualized Mentoring:
Student couples choose a faculty or staff mentor couple to meet with
throughout the program. This mentoring component provides the student couple
with individualized advice on the joys and challenges of marriage, as well as
a personal model of a strong, growing, Christian marriage.
Registration:
The registration process occurs annually at the beginning of the fall semester.
Registration packets are available at the Christian ministries office from August
17th - September 4th.
