The First Year Marriage Companion
The wedding is over — now the marriage begins. A warm, guided 8-chapter companion through the real adjustments of your first year together, with a monthly check-in you'll use all year.
Full description: The first year of marriage shapes everything that follows — and no one really prepares you for it. This companion walks newlyweds through the real adjustments of year one: merging two lives, money in practice, first fights and repair, keeping romance alive, family and holidays, and building rhythms that last.
Use it as a couple on your own, or as a mentor walking alongside newlyweds. It picks up exactly where premarital counseling leaves off.
What's inside:
- 8 warm, honest chapters covering the true landscape of a couple's first year
- Teaching, discussion questions, and a "Try This Week" action in every chapter
- A private "Mentor's Note" for pastors and marriage mentors
- A reusable Monthly Marriage Check-In — a simple rhythm couples return to all year
- Faith-grounded yet welcoming across traditions
- Fully editable (Word) and print-ready — add your own church or ministry name
- Pairs beautifully with The Premarital Counseling Workbook
Perfect for: newlyweds, marriage mentors, marriage ministries, and as a thoughtful wedding or bridal-shower gift.
