Kirk and Melanie Lewis
For over 40 years, we have sought to create a marriage that ministers. Of course, we have not always been successful, but our goal is to glorify God in all we do.
It is a daunting task that God has given us to be a portrait of Christ and His bride, the church. How are you doing with that? It's a great mystery that we have tried to solve for decades!
Marriages that Minister will challenge you to think differently about your marriage. We are not talking about what can be accomplished by human effort. It is an invitation for you to participate in what is humanly impossible yet divinely possible.
Join us as we together weave to create a masterpiece marriage.

More Testimonials
While learning this material for Biblical Church counseling, I was also learning how to apply this in my marriage. I struggled mightily! The Lord opened my eyes and heart to Kirk & Melanie’s teaching through Marriages That Minister and to the idea of connecting intimately with Christ, who enables my heart to produce His love for my spouse. The enemy would constantly try to have me look at all of the years that I had failed in my marriage to love my spouse with the genuine and authentic love of Christ.
It was a roller coaster ride of emotions, to say the least, but one that I would encourage you to take! The Lord has brought me to a place of rejoicing by helping me to see that Marriages That Minister teaches us God’s standards for marriage that will enable us to live out the privilege that it’s meant to be. This course has started me on a journey of how to discontinue applying my own standards to this beautiful relationship called marriage, which God designed to show His Son’s love to the world!
I recommend this course to anyone consistently frustrated, disappointed, resentful, and discouraged in their relationships with others. Marriages That Minister emphasizes the most crucial relationship that exists, our intimate and personal relationship with Christ, which makes all other relationships possible. —Theresa

The Marriages That Minister Counselor Cohort brings tangible experience to this truth, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2Cor. 1:3-4 NASB) Giving godly counsel to someone whose marriage needs God’s comfort is only possible through experiencing God’s comfort within the various trials of one’s own marriage. Seeing the hurt in someone’s life and having a strong desire to help demands we have a practical understanding of God’s design for marriage. This understanding flows from having experienced God’s comfort within the crucible of marital trials. Oh, the blessings that come from finding how God’s truth, applied to our lives in the midst of trial, brings in peace!! It is the experience of His grace and peace that equips and compels us to help others in need. If you have experienced the grace and peace of God on this level in your marriage and long to share it with others, then this cohort is must! However, you should be prepared for the Lord to challenge and grow your practical understanding of marriage in the process. I often found myself struggling to understand and apply to my life the very thing God was leading me to share as the solution to crisis in someone else’s life. All praise to our merciful and gracious God whose love never fails!! —Kevin
What a great class for those who want to counsel with married couples, improve their own relationships, or learn more about what a biblical marriage looks like according to God. Thank you for this opportunity. —Misty
