At Rise Up Ministries, we are dedicated to guiding and supporting couples as they embark on the beautiful journey of Christian marriage. Our pre-marital services are designed to equip you with the tools, wisdom, and biblical principles needed to build a strong and lasting marriage centered on faith, love, and commitment.
The purpose of our pre-marital services is to help couples lay a solid foundation for their marriage by addressing important aspects that contribute to a healthy and fulfilling relationship. We believe that preparation is key to a successful marriage, and our program focuses on fostering open communication, understanding each other's values and beliefs, resolving conflicts in a godly manner, and cultivating a deep spiritual connection.
In the Christian faith, marriage is viewed as a sacred covenant ordained by God. It is a reflection of the relationship between Christ and the Church, emphasizing love, sacrifice, and unity. By delving into Scripture, we gain valuable insights and guidance that serve as a roadmap for building a Christ-centered marriage.
Ephesians 5:22-33 speaks to the roles and responsibilities of husbands and wives, highlighting the selfless love and submission that are integral to a strong marriage. This passage emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, support, and cherishing one another. Similarly, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 beautifully illustrates the qualities of love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness—qualities that are essential for a thriving marital relationship.
Proverbs 24:3-4 encourages us to build our homes and marriages on wisdom and understanding, suggesting that a strong foundation leads to stability and happiness. By incorporating these teachings and many others into our pre-marital services, we aim to help couples not only prepare for their wedding day but also for a lifetime of love, companionship, and growth.
Rise Up Ministries Mississippi is committed to walking alongside you and providing the guidance you need to enter into marriage with confidence, knowing that you have the tools to navigate the challenges and joys that lie ahead. We believe that a strong and God-centered marriage not only enriches the lives of the couple but also has a positive impact on their families, communities, and the world at large.
Thank you for considering Rise Up Ministries Mississippi for your pre-marital journey. We look forward to joining you on this exciting path of preparation, growth, and transformation as you build a marriage that honors God and brings you fulfillment.
Scriptures Emphasizing the Significance of Marriage in Christianity:
Genesis 2:24 - "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Ephesians 5:31 - "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

1 Corinthians 7:2 - "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband."

SYMBIS Assessment and Pre-marital Counseling
Premarital counseling is a valuable opportunity for engaged couples to prepare for a strong and Christ-centered marriage. At Rise Up Christian Counseling, we utilize the SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessment as a foundational tool for understanding each other's strengths, growth areas, and compatibility. This assessment, combined with biblical principles, helps couples build a solid foundation for their union. The Bible encourages us in Proverbs 24:3-4, "By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding, it is established; by knowledge, the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." Through premarital counseling and the SYMBIS assessment, we aim to provide couples with the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge they need to establish a thriving and God-honoring marriage. By delving into topics such as communication, conflict resolution, expectations, and intimacy, couples can approach their wedding day with confidence and embark on a lifelong journey of love and commitment.
