What is the Marriage Course?

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

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

Topics covered include:  recognizing 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 -- having fun together.

Privacy as a couple is always respected.  Couples sit together in intimate tables for two.  There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.

What's involved?

During each evening, there are brief talks by the presenters or on video, followed by an opportunity to discuss the topics together as a couple.  Couples are encouraged to continue their discussion together on specific topics between sessions.

The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening.

Who is it for?

The Marriage Course is for any couple who wants to build a strong and lasting relationship, especially:

  • those who want to enhance their relationship
  • those in the first five years of living together as a couple
  • those at a challenging stage, such as the birth of a child, a career change, teenagers at home, the 'empty nest'.
  • those struggling with issues in their relationship.

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

When does it run?

The Marriage Course starts on Monday, March 28th at 6pm with a catered dinner and commencing at 7pm on subsequent evenings with dessert only.

It runs for 8 weeks, not including April 25th.
