The Grace Marriage program gives our community the opportunity to regularly invest in marriage throughout every season of life. The curriculum has built-in materials and reminders to check in with your spouse and remember to keep loving each other. And who doesn't want the opportunity for a quarterly home-cooked breakfast — without the chore of cleaning the kitchen?

Start Married Life Right (SMLR) walks newlywed couples through the foundational habits, conversations, and rhythms that set a marriage up to thrive for the long haul.

• Small-group format
• Married 0–5 years
• Practical & discussion-based

Our premarital counseling walks engaged couples through the research-based SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessment paired with facilitated one-on-one conversations. Together we unpack personality, expectations, communication, finances, and the season ahead — and the process can help satisfy pre-marriage preparation requirements. Any of our certified SYMBIS facilitator couples can lead a session.

• Personal SYMBIS assessment
• 1-on-1 facilitator couple time
• Great for pre-marriage prep

WinShape is a ministry that creates space for couples to get away on purpose and build lifelong tools for a lasting marriage. Highland has partnered with WinShape for more than 16 years, and in that time we've seen couples come back with new resources, shared memories, and a renewed friendship. The retreats are designed for every season and situation of life, from couples who simply need a fun reset to couples navigating something harder. Because investing in your marriage, making time to laugh together, and stepping away with intention are some of the best things you can do. If you'd like help planning a WinShape trip, just reach out — we'd love to help make it happen.

• Personal trip-planning help available
• 16+ years partnering with WinShape
• Scholarships available
• Weekend format
• Multiple dates each year

• Confidential conversations
• Referrals to trusted professionals
• Support for any season
• Local Memphis-area network
