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

For 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.

Programme
1. Building Strong Foundations
2. The Art of Communication
3. Resolving Conflict
4. The Power of Forgiveness
5. Parents and In-Laws
6. Good Sex
7. Love in Action

Who is it for?
The Marriage Course is for any couple who want to build a strong and lasting relationship, especially:
• those preparing for marriage
• those wanting to enhance their marriage
• those in the first five years of marriage
• those at a challenging stage in their
marriage eg 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.

What’s involved?
Each evening begins with a candlelit meal. There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple. The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening.

What is the cost?
No charge is made for the course as such, though you will be invited to make a modest contribution to cover the costs of the meals and materials. No one should feel that they cannot participate on the course because of financial constraints.
