August 14, 2008 by Michael Smalley · Leave a Comment
We now offer training for therapists, pastors, and leaders who desire to enrich couples lives through education and skill building.
Our training program consists of a one-day workshop and it prepares individuals to present The Satisfied Marriage program (a marriage intensive) or the Engaged: the eight fundamentals to lasting love program. Once you have completed the training, you are officially certified to present either of our programs.
Certification gives you the following benefits:
- You become an officially certified Smalley Marriage Coach.
- You get listed in our approved providers section that is promoted nation wide at live events and online through our family of websites that reach tens of thousands of unique people a month.
- You get trained to work with couples in a one-day intensive format that is very powerful compared to traditional weekly counseling.
- You can increase your ministry or practice through one-day or two-day intensives for couples.
- You get to work with couples utilizing our The Satisfied Marriage program or the Engaged program.
Topics covered in our training program include conflict resolution, personal responsibility, validation, communication, handling anger, sexual intimacy, and much more.
The cost of our full-day training program is $1,500 plus travel expenses for an individual. If you are going to have at least 5 or more individuals at your training workshop, the price drops to $300 per person.

Also, the exam scoring system will give students immediate results and feedback, allowing them to track their progress.
Light University’s mission is to train and equip individuals—those who have a heart for helping people in need—with the tools necessary to be effective in their ministries to others. “God has truly blessed us by providing this exciting, state-of-the-art learning opportunity for our students,” said Clinton. “It’s just another step in the right direction toward our goal of training and equipping one million leaders with the skills necessary to increase their ministry effectiveness.”
