Topics covered include:
- recognising each others' 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
Who is it for?
The Marriage Course is 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 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.
What´s involved?
Each evening is based around a video-talk, which includes an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple. The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening, with a coffee and dessert served during your discussion time.
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.
