The organizing model
Three things, happening at once.
Every card in the deck touches at least one part of the Marriage Formation Flywheel. These are not stages a couple graduates from. They keep turning together for as long as the marriage lasts.
And back to IRL. The wheel keeps turning.

For ministry leaders
Wondering how this connects to what you already do?
