Who is it for?
The Marriage Course is for couples who are seeking to strengthen their relationship. Some couples do the course to intentionally invest in their relationship, others are looking to address more specific challenges. Either way, the course offers essential tools and practical ideas to help you build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
The Marriage Course is based on Christian principles but designed for all couples with or without a church background.
What can I expect?
Each course is unique, but usually every session will include: a practical talk and a time for private discussion between you and your partner. Some couples will even set aside time to create a "date night" atmosphere either before or after the session.
Some ideas: Order dinner in, play your favorite board game, create a dessert tasting, to name a few.
You never share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner.
