At Fairhaven, we believe that marriage is more than a ceremony; it’s a life-long commitment. Our Marriage Ministry wants to come alongside each couple from the beginning and throughout their marriage. We are committed to encouraging strong, healthy, and fulfilling marriages that are founded on biblical principles.

EVENTS

Friday Night Marriage Events
Join us for an evening of live music, laughs, and lots of fun. This will be a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship while enjoying a night out with your spouse. Whether you’ve been married one year or 50, this fun night out is for you. These events take place several times throughout the year; check the app and the Adult Ministries page for upcoming events.

Marriage Checkup
Medical checkups often confirm we’re healthy, but sometimes discover things that could cause issues. This workshop will do the same for your marriage, discussing best practices and reviewing an assessment you’ll take beforehand.
