EDCO 806 Premarital Project

In 3 phases, the student will develop a marital education/therapy intervention for premarital or remarital couples by creating a curriculum or treatment manual (Word document) along with a visual medium (e.g., PowerPoint, Slate, etc.). The manual must be a detailed outline that would be used to provide the training and must include a biblical worldview regardless of the audience. The average premarital/remarital training will include approximately 7 sessions (2 hours each) of didactic material and interactive exercises; a therapeutic marital group will have approximately 6–10 weeks of sessions (1 hour per week). The student must use ideas from course textbooks, marital therapy theorists, scholarly research, Scripture, and other sources to complete the project. Citations for all sources must be in current APA format.
