Marriage

The Marriage Course

The Marriage Course is very practical, giving any married couple the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime.

Over seven evenings spent together, couples talk about important issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life.

Topics covered include: recognising each other's needs, learning to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, knowing how to make each other feel loved, relating to parents and in-laws, good sex, making time for each other and having fun together.

Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.

What's involved?
The usual format is that evening begins with a glass of wine (or alternative). There is then a talk on video, followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple over coffee and cake.

The setting is welcoming, relaxed and non-threatening.

Who is it for?
The Marriage Course is for any married couple who want to build a strong and lasting relationship, especially:

those who want to enhance their marriage
those in the first five years of marriage
those at a challenging stage in their marriage e.g. the birth of a child, a career change, teenagers at home, the 'empty nest'
those struggling with issues in their marriage

The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.
