The Divine Design of the Family
We are deeply committed to teaching and upholding God’s divine pattern for the family, recognizing it as a sacred institution designed by the Creator.
We firmly believe that the family fulfils its true purpose when built upon biblical principles. The family is more than just a social unit; it is a divine creation, established by God Himself to reflect His love, order, and purpose.
From the very beginning, God designed the family as the foundation of society, a place where faith, love, and values are cultivated and passed down through generations.
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” — Psalm 127:1
God as the Foundation of the Family
This verse reminds us that any attempt to build a family outside of God’s guidance is incomplete. A family that seeks to fulfil God’s divine purpose must rely on Him as the architect and foundation.
Our yearning and craving are to see every family living according to God’s original plan for marriage. This plan is not just a set of rules but a divine blueprint for harmony, growth, and spiritual maturity. Marriage is a covenant that reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church.
When homes are grounded firmly on the foundation of the Creator, they become strongholds of faith and beacons of light in a world that often strays from God’s design.
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 3:11
Christ at the Centre of the Home
Christ must be the foundation of every home. Without Him, the structure of the family is vulnerable to the pressures of the world. But with Christ at the centre, families are strengthened to withstand challenges and reflect His glory.
We envision families where God’s presence is evident in every aspect of daily life. His guidance must be paramount in every decision, especially in the marriage covenant. Marriage is not merely a legal contract; it is a spiritual bond designed by God. As couples seek His wisdom, they find strength and direction for their journey together.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:5-6
Our mission is to guide and support families in building their marriages on the unshakable foundation of God’s word. By embracing biblical truths, families can experience the fullness of God’s design, leaving a legacy that honours Him for generations to come. We are committed to helping families walk this path, trusting in God’s promises and relying on His strength.
Vision
Our vision is to help build Christ-centred homes grounded in faith, purpose and divine truth where God’s presence reigns with biblical values upheld and decisions reflecting God’s wisdom, bringing glory to God in all aspects of life.
The Role of Trust and Prayer

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
We were hesitant about counseling at first, but Marriage as Planned was the best decision we made before saying ‘I do.’ The workshops were enlightening and fun, and the team made us feel so comfortable. We now communicate better and are excited about our future together!
