“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
Every marriage needs a table where it can be honest.
You love each other. But somewhere between the kids, the bills, the calendar and the quiet tension nobody names, it is easy to feel like the only couple still figuring it out. You are not.
Family Dinner is a private, invitation-only evening for couples who want more than small talk. Over a three-course dinner, we will laugh, share real stories and open the conversations most couples never get to have out loud, surrounded by couples who truly get it. Everything we share is rooted in timeless biblical principles for marriage, and whatever your background, if this invitation reached you, there is a seat at our table for you.
A safe place for dangerous conversations.
The topics couples whisper about, avoid at church and argue about in the car. We put them on the table with grace, Scripture and a lot of laughter.
- Money and who really makes the decisions
- Intimacy and unspoken expectations
- In-laws, boundaries and leaving to cleave
- Roles, submission and leadership at home
- Keeping your marriage first after kids
- You love your spouse and want to protect what you are building.
- You have been craving real friendship with couples who value marriage like you do.
- You are in a hard season and need hope, perspective and people in your corner.
- You are thriving and ready to sharpen, and be sharpened by, other couples.
Seats are very limited and open only to invited couples.

Que & Liz Coples
Married nine years with four beautiful children, our passion is marriage and family God’s way. In 2020, as the world shut down and divorce rates climbed, we got proactive about our own marriage and invited other couples to do the same. What started as a small circle of couples grew into a thriving community, and over time we began counseling marriages and seeing real fruit. In 2023, we launched Couch Conversations with the Coples, a podcast that brings these honest conversations about marriage to couples everywhere.
We believe marriage is one of the most beautiful pictures of the gospel. When a husband and wife love, forgive and choose each other daily, they display Christ’s love for His bride, the Church. A thriving marriage strengthens families and preaches the gospel without saying a word.
That is why we open our table. The world needs to see marriages that work, and no couple should have to build one alone.
Honest conversation needs a trusted room.
We keep this table small and personal on purpose. Every couple here was invited by someone who knows them, so you can relax, be real and leave the masks at the door.
