WHAT IS RE|ENGAGE
Whether your marriage is good and you want it to be great, or you are at rock-bottom and wonder if there is hope, re|engage is a safe place to grow in your marriage. Each week, you will hear from couples whose marriages have been transformed, learn practical ways to grow in oneness with your spouse, and gain insight from others in a small group setting as you walk through the 14 lessons.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Re|engage brings couples together to learn about God’s design for marriage and biblical principles for building a healthy relationship.
Every week begins in a large group setting, where you will hear stories of hope from couples whose marriages have been transformed. Re|engage leaders will also share practical steps you can take to improve your own relationship.
After meeting as a large group, participants will break off into smaller groups, with each group led by a facilitator couple. Together, you and your small group will work through the 14-lesson curriculum and learn how to effectively communicate, resolve conflict, and grow closer to your spouse.

Where did re|engage originate?
Re|engage is a ministry developed by Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas. The basic re|engage structure was created in 2008 out of Watermark’s desire to serve all marriages in the community well. As stories of improved marriages spread, other churches began inquiring about re|engage which led churches outside Watermark to offer re|engage starting in 2012. In 2022 a group of eleven couples at Eternal Church began a pilot which led to a full launch in October 2023.

"We had good quality time with each other. It’s been hard to have that with kids, you know,
when you’re so busy and have little time alone…"
- Kim
"Yes, we really had good
conversations because of the book’s questions. We are used to having operational
conversations, but the questions helped us have meaningful ones."
- Jason
"I really thought the videos were great. The speakers’ stories showed how our problems
aren’t unique. They shared the tough times they had gone through and their hope. Lots of
times you don’t get that."
- Dale
"It was good to learn the importance of staying in your own circle. That concept is a
really good tool."
- Kristen
"Tammy and I have gone to other marriage encounters but this one is different because it
really is based on God and scripture."
- Jeff
"Yes, marriage itself is ministry. We need to equip the saints for their ministry."
-Guy
"There is a community aspect…we’re not alone. We get to know each other better
than just surface or Sunday-morning conversations."
- Cori
"We started pretty much the first week. Our facilitator couple shared, and established that
we could be transparent and that anything that was said had to stay confidential in our group.
It still wasn’t easy to be open, but it was safe."
