What is it?

The Marriage Preparation Course is for any engaged couple who want to develop strong foundations for a lasting marriage. Over five evenings spent together you will learn important tools that will enable you to make your marriage work.

You will look at:

  • the importance of commitment

  • how to recognise and appreciate your differences

  • the art of communication

  • resolving conflict

  • spending time together

  • nurturing your friendship

  • making each other feel loved

  • developing a good sexual relationship

  • the importance of talking about your goals, values and dreams

The evening is very relaxed. There is a meal followed by short talks, along with exercises and questions for you to discuss together privately as a couple (NOT with the big group!).

Who is it for?

The course is based on Christian principles for relationships and is run by Christians but it is suitable for people with or without a church background. You do not need to be getting married in a church to come on the course.

When is it happening?

The Marriage Preparation Course in Whitfield Parish will run on five Thursday evenings from 7.30 pm to 10.00 pm. It is available twice a year depending on how many couples apply to marry

How do I enrol and what does it cost?
