Clarity & Confidence to Take Your Best Next Step Together

Merge guides seriously dating and engaged couples through honest conversations that help them prepare for marriage, grow in Christ, and discern their next step with confidence.

Thinking about marriage, but not sure you’re ready?

Preparing for marriage can feel overwhelming. You may wonder:

  • Are we aligned on the things that matter most?
  • Can we talk honestly about money, faith, family, and sex?
  • Where do we go to find premarital counseling?

You're not alone. Merge is here to help.
