This course is for all engaged couples, for those getting married at Christ Church, those who attend Christ Church and are getting married elsewhere or those who have not got a connection to the church but wish to undertake some Marriage Preparation.
The Marriage Preparation Course
Over five evenings spent together you will learn important tools that enable you to make your marriage work.
You will look at:
- How to recognise and appreciate your differences
- The art of communication.
- The importance of commitment
- 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 evenings are very relaxed. There is a meal followed by short talks interspersed with exercises and questions for you to discuss together as a couple. There is no group work. Before the first evening you and your fiance will be asked to fill in a questionnaire which is confidential and designed to help you learn more about yourselves and your relationship. You will then be given the opportunity to discuss these with a support couple if you wish.
The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful and relevant for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.
The next official course will be running from 22nd April 2010. If you would like to register for this course please click here and complete the form with your names and contact details.
