The Marriage Preparation Course

The Marriage Preparation Course is a series of 5 pre-marital sessions where couples learn the tools to build a relationship that will last a lifetime. During an engagement period, when much of the focus is on the wedding, this course is an opportunity to focus on the upcoming marriage.

What is it? A series of 5 evenings during which couples learn what makes a marriage work, including the importance of commitment, listening to each other and resolving conflict. The goal of the course is to provide engaged couples with the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage.

Who is it for? Any engaged couple, or any couple considering getting married, who want to work at having the best possible start to their marriage.

What happens? Each evening works as if the engaged couple are on a date! The evening begins with a candlelit dinner, coffee and dessert at a romantic table for two. Participants listen to practical talks interspersed with exercises and questions for each couple to discuss privately with each other. There is no group discussion or any requirement for participants to disclose anything about their relationship with anyone besides each other.
