Before we discuss dating, courtship, marriage, and family, let’s build a strong foundation. In this module, you’ll discover the vision behind Before & Beyond I Do, what to expect from the community, meet your guide, and understand our community values. My name is Seun Okutubo, and as a teacher, mentor, coach, and guide, I’m passionate about helping people build healthy, God-centered relationships that thrive before and beyond “I Do.”

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1 Objective: Help members understand the vision behind the community. Points to note: • Marriage is not the goal; fulfilling purpose is. • Healthy marriages begin long before the wedding day. • Many people prepare for the wedding but not for marriage. • This community exists to help people prepare intentionally and grow continuously. Reflection Question: What do you want from this community?

Before & Beyond I Do is built on five pillars: 📖 Biblical Truth 🎯 Practical Wisdom 💬 Real Conversations 🙏 Prayer & Accountability, and 🤝 Community. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, this is a place to learn, grow, ask questions, and build God-centered relationships. My goal is to help you prepare intentionally before “I Do” and thrive long beyond it.
