Grace Marriage Forum

Grace Marriage Forum brings people together in person for honest conversations and fresh ideas about marriage and relationships.
About this Event

Grace Marriage Forum is an interactive event for men navigating life after incarceration who desire meaningful relationships, companionship, dating, or marriage.

Husbands and wives will participate together, offering real-life perspectives on communication, trust, conflict, expectations, commitment, and personal growth.

The forum should help each participant leave with answers to three questions:

1. Where am I? Am I emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and practically prepared for a healthy relationship?
2. What am I learning? What can I understand about myself, women, and the realities of marriage?
3. What's my next step? What can I begin doing now to prepare for the relationship I hope to build?

The event is not a matchmaking gathering or a test of who deserves marriage. It is a safe, respectful environment for honest conversation, learning, and preparation.
