Using these materials

Take it and use it

The National Association of Marriage Enhancement spent three decades building this material to serve married couples. NAME closed in 2026, and the material is given away so that the work continues. This page says what that means in practice.

What you may do

  • Use it with the couples, groups, and congregations you serve.
  • Adapt it. Rewrite it for your context, translate it, shorten it, put your own church’s name on the handout.
  • Copy it and pass it on to others doing the same work.

No permission or paperwork is needed, and there is nothing to pay.

What we ask

  • Keep it true to its purpose: faith-centered material that supports marriages.
  • Do not sell it or make it part of something you sell.
  • Where it is natural, say where it came from. Not as a legal condition, but because people built this.

What we cannot give you

Some of what sits in this archive was not made by the ministry. Over thirty years, other people’s work found its way in: Bible translations, stock photographs, music, and talks by guest speakers recorded at conferences.

We cannot grant rights we do not hold. Where a resource contains someone else’s work, their rights are unaffected by anything on this page, and the permission above does not extend to it. If you plan to republish something widely, or use it commercially in any form, check that first.

No warranty

Everything here is offered as it is. It was made for a particular ministry in a particular time, and some of it is old. Nothing in this archive is professional counseling, legal, or medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a qualified counselor.

If we got something wrong

If material of yours is in this archive and should not be, or is credited wrongly, tell us. We will take it down first and sort it out afterwards. That applies to a rights holder and to anyone who simply recognizes themselves in a file.

The covenant was worth keeping. Now carry it forward.
