The Mr & Mrs Equipped Program

Become equipped with the right tools for marriage before you need to repair it.

A structured pre marriage program with a dual therapist approach — preparing you not just for a wedding day, but for a healthy, resilient, and lasting marriage.

MR & MRS EQUIPPED

No one gets married planning to divorce. Most couples simply enter marriage unprepared.

"Love gets you married.
Preparation keeps you married."

Toby and Sussan, founders of Renewed Life

A Dual Therapist Approach

Two perspectives, one strong foundation.

At Renewed Life, Toby and Sussan believe that strong marriages are built through intentional preparation. Mr & Mrs Equipped was created to help couples prepare not just for a wedding day, but for a healthy, resilient, and lasting marriage.

Their distinctive dual therapist approach begins with individual sessions — Toby works with one partner from a male perspective, while Sussan supports the other from a female perspective, creating space for honest reflection and clarity before marriage.

These individual insights are then brought into joint sessions, where Toby and Sussan work together to help couples align values, strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and establish a shared vision for married life.

In Their Words

What couples are saying.

Tried traditional therapy before and nothing ever stuck. Having two therapists in the room changed everything for us.
I had brought a lot of past hurt into my relationship. Releasing it from my nervous system was the light bulb moment for me.
Going into a new relationship I knew I had baggage. After the nervous system release, everything became clear. It was like the light came on.
When you showed me my past patterns were repeating, it actually made sense. After the release session I felt brand new.
