Marriage Plus is a non-profit, faith-based, multi-church, international, discipleship ministry. Our goal is to walk alongside young couples, training them for a lifetime of ministry together.
Our prayer is that couples who are involved in SPLITS and/or take our year-long discipleship course (M+) are better equipped for, and are more intent on, bearing fruit for God’s Kingdom together.
We focus on learning marriage skills, practicing ministry skills (while serving) and discussing and pursuing each couple’s unique vision for their own ministry.
“Gary and Ann Wooley, our longtime mentors and friends, influenced the course of our early marriage and have impacted the marriages of hundreds of couples for the sake of the Gospel. Their commitment to disciple and mentor young married couples through Marriage Plus helps transform the way couples view their marriage – that it’s not just about their own happiness, but it is the very foundation for mission and ministry. They helped us truly become partners in ministry, a path we have continued on to this day.”
“Their Biblical commitment, their spiritual and psychological insights, their ministry at home and overseas, their academic background, their own experiences as effective parents and their life together as a Christian couple who model what they teach – all this qualifies Gary & Ann Wooley to be of transforming help to other couples.”
“Finally, a ministry grounded in Scripture and the power of the Spirit that changes the lives of young married couples through providing discipleship that also equips them to share with others what Jesus is doing in their lives, whether it be in a church context, a ministry context or in their community. And, USA based but with worldwide impact! Okay, so we love Gary and Ann and their lifelong, lifestyle ministry.”
“We had the privilege of being mentored by Gary and Ann 35 years ago while living in Vienna, Austria, as they demonstrated by lifestyle some of the principles that would eventually become the Marriage Plus course. After returning to the States we graduated from the course, which taught us practical ways to have a marriage that reflects Christ and how to serve Him and others as a couple. Our weekly planning meetings and our listening skills have allowed us to make each day fruitful for building the Kingdom of God in Young Marrieds groups in our local church and in Europe.”
“Marriage Plus was incredibly helpful for us as a young couple to better understand each other, to learn how to communicate, and to be on the same team. It also gave us a great foundation for ministry together in our home and in our church!”
“The strength of Marriage Plus is its practicality. It focuses on real-life issues and the development of usable ministry skills, something every couple needs and every church will benefit from. We highly recommend it.”
