The Couples Counselling Training was established as a key initiative within Gura Ukuri Biblical College to strengthen the foundation of Christian marriage and family life through biblical teaching, practical counseling skills, and Spirit-led mentorship. Recognizing that healthy marriages are vital to the health of the Church and society at large, this program was birthed with a mission to equip couples to become agents of healing, reconciliation, and godly leadership within their homes and communities.

This specialized training program addresses a growing need for qualified, biblically grounded marriage counselors who can walk with couples through the joys and challenges of married life. Drawing from Scripture, pastoral care principles, and proven counseling methods, the program provides both theological depth and practical application.

The training is designed for married couples, pastors, church leaders, and individuals who feel called to serve in marriage ministry. Participants are guided through key topics such as:

• Biblical foundations of marriage
• Communication and conflict resolution
• Emotional and spiritual intimacy
• Financial stewardship in marriage
• Parenting and family dynamics
• Healing from past wounds and trauma
• Pre-marital and post-marital counseling
• Crisis intervention and reconciliation

What makes the program unique is its interactive and experiential approach. Couples are not only taught how to counsel others but are also encouraged to strengthen their own marriages during the process. Through group sessions, mentorship, role-plays, and case study discussions, participants grow in wisdom, empathy, and confidence in their calling.

Graduates of the Gura Ukuri Married Couples Counselling Training are serving as marriage counselors, family ministry leaders, and trusted mentors in churches and communities, helping to restore broken homes and build strong, Christ-centered families.

In a time when the institution of marriage is under increasing pressure, this training stands as a beacon of hope raising couples who model God’s design for marriage and who are equipped to minister to others with compassion, wisdom, and truth.
