Congratulations on your engagement and wedding!

With all the excitement planning your big day, it's easy to overlook the realities of married life in The years ahead. Most engaged or newlywed couples know that long-term relationships go through ups and downs. But did you know that there are steps you can take NOW to set the right course for a lifelong marriage? Times have changed. Today's marriages are more challenging than ever and it requires a new, more INTENTIONAL APPROACH to create the marriage of your dreams. You may know that approximately HALF of all marriages dissolve within the crucial first five years. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher. But research has shown that with an active, conscious commitment to building healthy ways of relating now, you can enhance your personal happiness and boost marital satisfaction over the long-term. The science of marriage preparation has come a long way and today there is anew breed of biblical, skill-based, pre-marital workshops and classes that will give you the knowledge and skills that will make all the difference. Based on the Judeo/Christian tradition and the latest research, we teach you how to create a FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG MARRIAGE starting with our weekend workshop.



Let us introduce you to the Dance of a Lifetime

A RESEARCH-BASED and BIBLICAL APPROACH to marriage preparation classes. Since we began offering Dance of a Life workshops 4 years ago, couples have raved about the experience which they have described as"INSPIRING","PRACTICAL" and "FUN" in addition to being "HIGHLY INFORMATIVE" and "DEMYSTIFYING OF THE MARRIAGE EXPERIENCE". Read some of the reviews and testimonials on the Workshop page to get a better sense of our approach.But don't think Dance of a Lifetime is a boring lecture class or a touchy-feelly therapy group. We don't require that you share any personal information about yourselves and we always respect your privacy. While we are Christians and teach from that tradition, the workshops are never preachy and are comfortable for couples of all faith traditions. The class atmosphere is fun, relaxed, informative and engaging. Even the GUYS REPORT BEING PLEASANTLY SURPRISED at how much they enjoyed the experience!

    "My fiancée and I have been sincerely blessed to work with BTT for our premarital counseling. Far from being lectured at or put through some kind of indoctrination session, we've been equipped with both the terminology to deconstruct our individual marriage expectations and the tools to build a strong foundation for our life together. We leave our meetings excited and refreshed, and our communication skills are much improved! Truly, BTT is Bible-based premarital counseling at its best." Ian and Lizzy
