The Marriage Course

THE MARRIAGE COURSE

Whatever the state of your relationship – strong, struggling or something in between – there’s no marriage that can’t be made better. 

The Marriage Course is for any couple that wants the best from their relationship, whether they’ve been married six months or sixty years.  It runs over seven evenings, each providing opportunity for you and your spouse to work through the basics of your marriage.

Each session starts with a candlelit meal – just the two of you together.  This is followed by teaching slots and exercises with coffee and cake served half way through the evening.  The whole session is spent solely with your spouse, so everything you discuss is completely private.  Apart from the other benefits, it’s a great way to spend quality time with each other every week.

Although the course is based on Christian principles, it’s designed to be helpful to people with or without a Christian faith or church background.

What’s involved?
