Marriage Course
What is it?
The Marriage Course is a very practical course, 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 is involved?
Each evening begins with a candlelit meal. Afterwards, there is a short talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple. The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening.
Who is it for?
The Marriage Course is for any married couple who wants 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.
