What is the Marriage Course? 

The Marriage Course is designed to build, strengthen, and even mend marriages. It helps married couples learn practical tools to build a strong and healthy marriage. Over seven evenings, couples have the chance to discuss important issues often ignored in the rush of daily life.

For more than twenty years, The Marriage Course has been helping couples build strong marriages. You too can deepen your relationship. You can move from dull to dynamic. You can even turn away from separation or divorce.

  

Who is the Marriage Course for?

The Marriage Course is for married couples that want a strong and lasting relationship, and it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been married. Couples who have been married for close to 40 years, as well as newlyweds, have enjoyed and benefited from the course.

It doesn’t matter what condition your marriage is in. If you already have a strong marriage, this course can help you make it even better. If your marriage is in difficulty, the course will help provide you with very practical tools to help you work through issues. Some couples who are separated have used the course as a way of trying to get back together.

Although The Marriage Course is based on Christian principles of marriage, we welcome couples without a church background. The course is full of practical advice for all marriages, and many couples who are not churchgoers have enjoyed and benefited from the course. 

What Happens on a Typical Course?

Each session typically begins with a meal. Over a candlelit dinner, couples have an opportunity to spend time together with each other or with other couples.

Dinner is followed by a talk, interspersed with exercises and questions for each couple to discuss privately. During the discussion times, music is played in the background to prevent any conversations from being overheard. At no time during the course is there any group discussion or any requirement to disclose anything personal to anyone other than your spouse.
