An Invitation to

THE MARRIAGE COURSE

How to build a healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime.

    

WHAT IS 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. It is intended 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 5 years of marriage, those at a challenging stage in their marriage eg children leaving home, or those struggling with issues in their marriage.

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?

Each evening begins with a candlelit meal. There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple. Each evening begins with a candlelit meal, which is followed by watching a talk on DVD, with opportunities to discuss with each other the issues raised. There is no group discussion, and you do not need to talk to anyone else about issues in your relationship. Chatting over the meal though, is a great way of getting to know another couple better.

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.
