Genesis 224 is a Christian premarital counseling ministry for couples preparing for marriage. It serves the need for marriage preparation via an in-depth premarital preparation course and workbook. Our premarital workbook serves the need for effective in-depth premarital counseling by addressing issues and situations springing from the spiritual, moral, and social environment––not only of the world but also of that within the church. Founded by Mike and Jewel Williamson, it serves couples, pastors, and the Church by:
Modern engaged couples face issues unheard of in past generations. Premarital counseling and premarital preparation must deal
with these cultural changes. Even so, God’s purpose and design for marriage hasn’t changed. Effective premarital counseling also
must point the engaged couple to the true origin and purpose of marriage.
