The 21st century brings with it a gazillion resource websites for marriage and parenting. Gary & Laurie have selected the following sites to share with you because these folks are doing wonderful ministry. In addition we have listed a few sites devoted to the spiritual development of Men or Women.
A Note About Theology: The links listed below come from various Christian denominations and traditions. Gary & Laurie search for what works. Yes, often times they use materials from Christian ministries that need to be tweaked to fit their purpose. However, they do that anyway, even with their own denominational materials. So, look through the recommendations and take what will work best in your locale, adjusting the lessons and activities as needed. You should be aware of Sola Publishing. The ministry offers solid Biblical resources with a confessional Lutheran focus. The ministry provides individuals and congregations with educational resources that are trustworthy and useful, at a reasonable price.
