The Marriage Course

The Marriage Course is designed to help married couples grow closer and build a healthy relationship that will last a lifetime.

What is it? A series of 7 evening sessions during which couples learn how to strengthen their marriage. Session topics include building strong foundations, the art of communication, resolving conflict, and the impact of family (past and present.)
 
Who is it for? Any married couple, whether married one year or 51 years, whether in a strong relationship or struggling.
 
What happens? Each evening takes place as if participating couples are on a date!   The evening begins with a candlelit dinner, coffee and dessert at a romantic table for two while couples listen to practical talks.  Interspersed with the talks are exercises and questions for each couple to discuss privately with each other. The talks are also interspersed with filmed clips of couples talking about their experiences of marriage and street interviews with couples from around the world.
 
When/Where is it held? The Marriage Course will meet weekly from September 16 - October 28, location to be announced shortly.
 
There is never any group work and you will never be asked to share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner. 
 
Cost: $200 per couple inclusive of dinner and course materials.
