About Our Married Life Ministry
STF Married Life provides opportunities for couples to grow closer and stronger in their relationships with God and one another. With so much demand for our attention, our goal is to eliminate obstacles and create an environment of encouragement for couples. We seek to equip couples with the truth of God’s Word to ward off the spiritual attacks on our marriages and to engage one another with His love.

Monthly Date Nights
Each month, STF Married Life provides a date night opportunity for couples to get out and have fun together! Past date nights have included Cinebistro, Topgolf, kayaking, and more.
Marriage Bible Studies
Marriage study groups are led by one of our marriage mentor couples. These studies provide a small group environment to learn about ways to strengthen and steward your marriage. Study groups are run every semester.
Marriage Retreats
Once per quarter, STF Married Life hosts a retreat to a nearby getaway location. Retreats will usually feature a guest teacher who works through a short study through the weekend. There are also plenty of opportunities for date time and relaxation.
Marriage MENTORSHIP
Marriage mentoring is for couples who need just a little help, are in a great crisis, and have no hope. Marriage mentors will help you identify critical areas of concern using an online couples diagnostic survey. Then, they will carefully help you navigate through issues derived from the study. Once you complete this form, a mentor couple will reach out to you within two days.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Volunteer Opportunities
Our marriage mentors are couples who have been married more than 10 years and are actively involved in STF. These trained mentors are available for engaged and married couples who are seeking wisdom and counsel, or simply seeking examples to follow who are a few years further down the road.
