Where Love Makes Room For Grace

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)

Coaches

Greg and Janna Garay

Our ministry is dedicated to helping couples cultivate a love that mirrors God’s grace—a love that forgives freely, gives generously, and endures through every season.

We believe that marriage is not just a covenant between two people, but a reflection of God’s unconditional love for us. In a world where relationships are often tested by conflict, brokenness, and unmet expectations, Love Covers exists to provide a safe space where couples can learn to love deeply, forgive fully, and grow spiritually—together.

Through workshops, mentoring, prayer, and biblical teaching, we equip couples to embrace a love that doesn’t keep score, that seeks reconciliation over retaliation, and that chooses unity over division. Just as Christ’s love covers our sins, we aim to foster marriages where grace flows freely, and love leads the way.

Love That Lasts

At Love Covers Marriage Ministry, our Premarital Coaching is designed to help engaged and seriously dating couples build a strong, Christ-centered foundation before saying “I do.” Rooted in the wisdom of 1 Peter 4:8, we guide couples in cultivating a deep, enduring love that’s anchored in grace, truth, and mutual commitment.

This coaching experience goes beyond wedding planning—it’s about preparing for a lifetime. Couples will walk through core topics such as communication, conflict resolution, faith and values, finances, intimacy, family dynamics, and expectations. Each session is grounded in Scripture, filled with practical tools, and led by experienced, godly mentors who are passionate about helping couples thrive.

We emphasize the importance of spiritual unity and teach couples how to create a marriage where love truly covers—covering offenses with forgiveness, struggles with support, and challenges with compassion.

Marriage Workshops

Inspired by 1 Peter 4:8 – “Love covers a multitude of sins.”

Marriage isn’t perfect—but love, when rooted in Christ, is powerful enough to heal wounds, bridge gaps, and restore what was broken. At Love Covers Marriage Workshops, couples are invited into a sacred space to grow in grace, communication, forgiveness, and deeper connection.

Rooted in 1 Peter 4:8, our workshops explore what it truly means to love each other deeply—not just in the good times, but especially through the hard ones. We focus on practical tools, biblical principles, and Spirit-led guidance to help couples:

  • Navigate conflict with compassion and understanding
  • Embrace forgiveness as a daily rhythm
  • Reignite emotional and spiritual intimacy
  • Learn how to “cover” each other with grace instead of judgment
  • Build a marriage culture rooted in mercy, not perfection

Whether you’re newly married, walking through a rough patch, or simply longing to grow together, these workshops are designed to bring hope, healing, and restoration—because love still covers a multitude of sins.

Come as you are. Leave more connected. Love deeper.
