If you’re a DIY type of person—or you’re on a budget and can’t commit to in-person marriage counseling—an online marriage course might be the perfect solution. That’s exactly why we created The 5 Step Plan to a Happy Marriage: a self-paced course that teaches you the essential steps to repair your relationship and build lasting love.
Why Choose a Marriage Course Instead of In-Person Counseling?
Many couples prefer online marriage courses because:
-
Privacy: You can work on your marriage from the comfort of your home, without involving anyone else.
-
Flexibility: Learn at your own pace, on your own schedule.
-
Affordability: Online programs cost a fraction of ongoing weekly counseling sessions.
-
Accessibility: Perfect for couples who feel stuck but aren’t ready—or able—to attend in-person therapy.
This isn’t just for engaged couples looking for pre-marital skills. It’s also for married partners who are struggling with disconnection, conflict, or the loss of intimacy.
What Makes Marriage School Different?
There are plenty of relationship courses online, but not all are created by licensed therapists. Our 5 Step Action Plan was developed after years of working with some of the most difficult cases—couples on the verge of separation, affairs, or years of hopelessness.
Here’s what couples who take the course often say:
-
“We just want that original spark back.”
-
“I feel betrayed—like this isn’t the marriage I signed up for.”
-
“We’re confused and losing hope, but we want to find our way back.”
The course helps couples reconnect with that feeling of being deeply understood by their partner—the very thing that made them fall in love in the first place.
Who Is the 5 Step Plan For?
The course is designed for every stage of relationship:
-
Dating couples who want to prepare for long-term success.
-
Engaged couples ready to build a strong foundation before marriage.
-
Marriages in crisis seeking tools to stop the downward spiral.
-
Healthy marriages that want to go from good to great.
No matter your starting point, the course gives you practical, research-based steps to strengthen connection and resolve conflicts.
Why Imago Therapy Sets This Course Apart

Break negative cycles of conflict.
-
Create emotional safety in conversations.
-
Rebuild connection, intimacy, and trust.
Because it’s based on Imago, you can feel confident this course will move you toward healing—not open old wounds or make things worse.

FAQ: Online Marriage Courses & Couples Communication
Can an online marriage course really help?
Yes. Many couples report making faster progress when they have structured lessons, exercises, and communication videos to guide them consistently at home.
What if my spouse won’t do the course with me?
Even if only one partner begins, learning new communication skills can shift the dynamic and encourage the other to join in.
Is this the same as counseling?
It’s not a substitute for therapy if there are serious issues like abuse or addiction. But for most couples, it’s an affordable and effective alternative—or a great complement to therapy.

Absolutely. The program includes video lessons and exercises that show you exactly how to improve listening, reduce conflict, and reconnect emotionally.
