The Mindful Marriage Conference with Ron & Nan Deal - Dunedin Sept 2025

In a world filled with distractions and challenges, it’s easy for couples to drift apart. The Mindful Marriage Conference offers a transformative experience to help you and your spouse reconnect, understand each other deeply, and build a resilient, Christ-centred relationship. Join renowned marriage and family therapists Ron & Nan Deal for a day of insightful teaching, practical tools, and heartfelt encouragement designed to enrich your marriage journey.

At the intersection of Biblical principles for marriage, social science, and edutainment (“education designed to entertain and amuse”) is this dynamic and practical marriage seminar. The Mindful Marriage Conference™ is designed to inspire, educate, and encourage couples in all seasons of life (pre-marriage, marriage, and blended family marriage) toward greater intimacy and stability. Designed for healthy and distressed couples alike.

“In all of our 48 years of marriage this has been the best marriage conference we've ever attended. What Ron and Nan presented was the most practical that we've ever heard. Please have them back if you can."– Conference Participant, Oklahoma City

Ron & Nan Deal’s seminar allowed my husband and I to get to heart level pain and gave us practical tracks to run on to humble ourselves and extend grace to each other. I related with their story SO MUCH. Their seminar was the BEST thing FamilyLife has ever offered. Completely scripturally supported and 100% getting to the bottom heart-level transformational place where the Holy Spirit can make us new and really move."– Marriage Cruise Attendee

This has been THE BEST, most hands-on, practical, raw, and healing teaching that we have had in all our years of attending cruises, marriage conferences, classes, etc. Ron & Nan Deal were amazing, real, and transparent along with providing the practical steps for us to walk out this teaching in our life. We are in awe of the way they have allowed God to turn their mess into an incredible message...”– FamilyLife sponsored event participant

What to Expect

This engaging conference combines biblical principles, psychological insights, and real-life experiences to address the core issues that affect marriages today. Whether you’re newly married, seasoned partners, or part of a blended family, you’ll find valuable guidance tailored to your unique journey.

This cutting-edge training event teaches couples:

• How to operationalize the Biblical quality of humility in their everyday lives.
• How to map their emotionally dysregulated moments (every couple does this!) and examine what drives it.
• And how to replace those moments with self-regulation, rooted in love and trustworthiness, that fosters peace and emotional safety.
• Couples leave the event with an intimate plan, specific to their relationship, for building peace and intimacy in their union (Couple Peace Cycle).
