Become a Romance Minister
Become a Romance Minister
Love is Sacred. So is the One Who Honors It.
In a world where marriage is often overlooked or undervalued, a new kind of minister is rising—one who champions godly romance, officiates with purpose, and walks with couples toward covenant. This is more than paperwork. It’s ministry rooted in love, truth, and lasting promise. 💒✨
Have you ever felt a tug on your heart to guide others in building strong, godly relationships?
Maybe you see the confusion around dating today and wish someone would help people find love that lasts—love rooted in Christ. If that sounds like you, maybe God is calling you to become a Romance Minister.
Many young people today are struggling when it comes to romance. Relationships are often shallow, short-term, and shaped by dating apps and social media. “Swipe right” culture has replaced real connection.
But God has a better plan.
The Bible teaches us about love, commitment, and marriage. Young people need help learning how to build relationships that are healthy, holy, and joyful. That’s where you come in.

A Ministry Grown Through Romance and calling 💕
❤️ A Calling I Didn’t Expect
For years, I had a passion for healthy relationships, godly romance, and celebrating love the way God designed it. I found myself helping friends through breakups, talking couples through conflict, and always being the one who cried tears of joy at weddings.
I didn’t feel called to preach or plant a church—but I knew I wanted to serve couples. I wanted to officiate weddings with meaning, offer biblical guidance to those preparing for marriage, and celebrate love as a sacred gift from God.
That’s when I discovered I could become a Romance Minister—formally trained, spiritually grounded, and legally recognized to serve in this vital area of ministry.
📘 Training with Christian Leaders Institute
My first step was enrolling at Christian Leaders Institute (CLI), an educational ministry offering free, online, correspondence-style biblical courses. I started with their Wedding Officiant Skills class—and I was hooked.
Here’s what I learned:
✅ The biblical foundation for marriage
✅ How to lead wedding ceremonies with confidence
✅ How to support couples emotionally and spiritually
✅ Communication and premarital coaching skills
✅ What it means to be a minister of romance—not just legally, but spiritually
CLI helped me understand that romance is sacred, and helping couples prepare for a lifetime of love is a real ministry.
🏅 Ordination with Christian Leaders Alliance
Training is powerful—but recognition matters too. That’s where the Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) came in. CLA offers study-based ordination programs that give Romance Ministers credibility and public trust.
I completed the required classes, submitted my recommendations, and became ordained as a Wedding Officiant and Romance Minister—at no cost for the training.
Now, I’m legally able to officiate weddings in my state, and more importantly, I’m spiritually equipped to walk alongside couples as they prepare for one of life’s most meaningful covenants.
💡 Why Romance Ministry Matters
Romance ministry is not fluff—it’s formational. Marriage is under attack in today’s culture. Many couples are confused, unprepared, or discouraged. They need guides, not just legal officiants.
As a Romance Minister, I:
💍 Celebrate weddings that honor God
💬 Provide premarital coaching rooted in Scripture
💒 Support couples in crisis or growth
📖 Share the gospel through the lens of love, covenant, and intimacy
✅ Your Next Step: Become a Romance Minister
Do you feel called to help others build strong, godly relationships? Do you tear up at weddings? Do you believe marriage is a ministry?
Then this may be your calling too.
Here’s how to get started:
Enroll at Christian Leaders Institute and take the Wedding Officiant Skills course (free).
Complete the Romance Ministry training track.
Apply for ordination with Christian Leaders Alliance.
Begin your journey of serving couples as a trained, credentialed Romance Minister.
🙋♀️ Life is Ministry—Even in Love
God can use your unique passion for relationships, communication, and celebration to minister in powerful ways. When you become a Romance Minister, you don’t just perform ceremonies—you change lives, one covenant at a time.
