Testimonials

“The Armstrong’s have developed a very useful, practical tool for guiding couples toward marriage. I am finding the manual helpful in marriage counseling that I am doing with college students who are seeking to lay a strong Christian foundation for their lives together. I recommend this work to the pastoral counseling practitioner who wants solid assistance in being comprehensive and at the same time down to earth in working with engaged couples.”
- Dr. Jonathan Raymond, Ph.D. President, Trinity Western University, Langley, BC.

“Everyone wants an amazing love relationship.  Getting there through a great marriage takes commitment, patience, sacrifice, a lot of support, and a solid spiritual foundation.  I recommend The Couple Care Marriage Preparation Manual as a resource for pastors and mentors who want to prepare couples for marriage through Christ centered instruction and discovery.  Bob & Penny Armstrong have leveraged their marriage and parent experience with their pastor and counsellor wisdom to give us a practical and valuable tool for guiding couples toward an amazing marriage!”
