How to build a healthy marriage that lasts a life time 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.

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

Topics covered include: Building strong foundations, recognising each other’s needs, leaning to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, knowing how to make each other feel loved, relating to parents & in-laws, good sex, making time for each other & 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 is involved?
Each evening begins with refreshments; wine, soft drinks and nibbles.  There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple.

The setting is welcoming and relaxed.

Who is it for?

• The Marriage Course is for any couple who wants to build a strong and lasting relationship, especially:
• Those who are preparing for marriage
• Those who want to enhance their marriage
• Those in the early 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.

Cost: £20.00 per couple for the course - to cover a manual each, other material and refreshments.
