Marriage was never meant to be survived. It was meant to thrive. The Plug-and-Pray™ Marriage Enrichment System is a 16-week journey that helps couples rediscover the beauty of marriage as God intended it to be: full of grace, growth, laughter, and prayer.
Whether your marriage feels strong or strained, every couple has room to grow. Plug-and-Pray makes good marriages better, often far more than couples ever imagined possible. It provides a safe, faith-centered environment to reconnect emotionally and spiritually with your spouse while learning practical tools for lasting love.
What to Expect
Each week, you will gather with a small group of couples at your church (up to twelve couples walking the same path of learning, healing, and renewal). Together, you will explore biblical truths and clinical insights from Love Never Fails: 15 Marriage Truths from Scripture's Perfect Portrait, participate in guided conversations, complete daily and weekly group exercises, and learn to pray together in ways that strengthen both your marriage and your faith.
Sessions combine lighthearted reflection, deep truth, and honest connection. You will laugh, listen, and sometimes cry. Most of all, you will find hope. Couples often find they leave each week more in love and more aligned than they have been in years.
Why Couples Love Plug-and-Pray
• Strengthen Communication: Learn to listen, understand, and speak love in ways your spouse can hear.
• Reignite Intimacy: Rekindle affection and closeness by rebuilding trust and tenderness.
• Pray as One: Discover the spiritual unity that comes when you pray together regularly.
• Heal from the Past: Address wounds with grace, forgiveness, and guidance from Scripture.
• Grow in Community: Share the journey with couples who encourage and pray for you.
Who Should Attend?
Plug-and-Pray is for every couple: newlyweds or long-timers, struggling or thriving, curious or committed. You do not have to have a perfect marriage. You simply need a heart that is open to God's work. There are no lectures or judgments here. Just real conversation, biblical wisdom, and practical steps toward deeper love.
How it Works
Your group meets once a week for 16 weeks. Each session lasts about 90 minutes and includes Scripture reflection, guided exercises, and couple challenges to apply during the week. Between sessions, you will read short selections from Love Never Fails, the book at the heart of the Plug-and-Pray system, and put your knowledge into practice at home.
Every session builds on the last, helping you and your spouse move from understanding to action, and from action to transformation. By the end of the program, you will have a renewed sense of purpose, peace, and partnership in your marriage. You can preview Love Never Fails, the primary curriculum used in the program, by visiting Amnesty Media Group.
Why Plug-and-Pray Works
Plug-and-Pray was created by Dr. Lance Flood, a counselor, author, and former pastor. It brings together the best of both worlds: timeless biblical wisdom and proven relational science. It is 1 Corinthians 13 through the lens of cognitive and dialectical behavioral principles. It is more than a study. It is a complete system designed to help couples build marriages that reflect Christ's love.
Unlike other group models, Plug-and-Pray combines Scripture, clinical tools, and community in a way that is personal and powerful. Every session invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—not only with your spouse but also with the One who authored love itself because He personifies it.
What If We're in Crisis?
If your marriage is in serious distress, you may benefit from Marital Triage first (an 8-week intensive restoration program led personally by Dr. Flood). Marital Triage stabilizes couples in crisis and prepares them to transition seamlessly into Plug-and-Pray once they're ready.
