Bring CO to your church
Discover a marriage rooted in identity, joined for purpose, and building for generations.
CO: Restoring God’s Divine Design for Marriage is a two-day marriage conference for the couples in your church — engaged, newly married or decades in — led by David & Margo Farwell. You host. We bring the teaching, the tools and the follow-through.
Everyone who responded to our February 2026 survey rated CO 5 out of 5.
The opportunity
Becoming one is a lifelong process. Most couples are never handed a map.
The wedding is a day. Marriage is a lifetime. There’s no better day than today to build a better marriage.
“Marriage has an incredible ability to expose what we believe about ourselves, what we believe about God, and what we believe relationships will eventually require from us.”
From the CO teaching
“Every relationship creates a culture. The question is whether that culture is being formed intentionally or simply inherited through habits, pressures, assumptions, and repeated patterns.”
From the CO teaching
CO gives couples in your church a shared language, practical tools and a community to keep growing in — whatever season of marriage they’re in.
What CO is
Two days. Six principles from Scripture. One shared vision.
A two-day experience designed to explore and empower couples in every season of marriage with God’s divine design for a joyful, purposeful, and lasting marriage.
Through six powerful principles in Scripture, couples gain the vision, tools, and connection they need to walk in union and Kingdom purpose — through transformational content, community, coaching, and connection.
Every session follows the same rhythm

From couples who attended
“We walked away more unified in purpose.”
February 2026 · Everyone who responded to our survey rated their experience 5 out of 5. Shared with permission.
“CO was a moving experience for my wife and I. We walked in with little expectations, as this was our first marriage conference, but we walked away more unified in purpose and added several skills and practices to our spiritual tool belt.”
“Loved the intentionality of teaching, followed by discussion with spouse. I think that was CRUCIAL... So to purposely tell people ‘talk with your spouse about this’ was so beneficial.”
“Having new language to continue these discussions is huge, since it can help bring a freshness to those discussions, but also additionally clarity.”
“I loved the activations so much! I am a very practical person... Having three reflection questions at the end of each session was so helpful.”
“The whole event was excellently done! It provided a safe and comfortable to learn and share and grow together.”
“There was so much wisdom and Spirit-led content that both my fiance and I really appreciated! We loved the physical forehead to forehead activity!”
“Very eye opening especially for a couple who’s about to step into engagement. Prompted lots of conversations.”
“Questions and topics touched on very profound aspects of our relationship.”

Questions
What church leaders ask

Marriages in every season — engaged couples, newlyweds, couples years in and couples who have been married for decades. CO gives every couple God’s divine design for a joyful, purposeful, and lasting marriage, wherever they are in their journey together.
How long is it?
Two days: a Friday evening and a full Saturday. Couples experience an opening session, six teaching sessions and a closing marriage renewal and blessing.
What does a session look like?
Teaching from Scripture, then a conversation between spouses, then discussion at tables, then a hands-on Triformational™ Activation that engages spirit, soul and body. Couples sit at tables together and bring a journal, and every participant receives a workbook.
What does our church need to provide?
A space set with tables, food (snacks Friday evening, continental breakfast and lunch Saturday), six-week CO-horts in place before the weekend, and a registration process that lets you care for couples well.
What about couples who are in crisis?
We ask host churches to add a registration question about the current state of each couple’s relationship and to review the list ahead of time for couples in conflict or at risk of separation, so your pastoral team can care for them well.
What happens after the weekend?
Couples receive six weekly emails, one per session, with at-home activations for spirit, soul and body. Your CO-horts give them a small group to keep learning and reinforcing the principles together.
