The Marriage Course
Would you like to enrich your marriage and do a little preventive care? The Marriage Course is designed for married couples who desire to build a strong and lasting relationship for a lifetime. Each evening includes a delicious dinner, an insightful talk, and a chance for each couple to discuss that evening's topic with their partner. During eight sessions, couples explore vital topics:
- Recognizing each other's needs
- Communication
- Parent and In-law relationships
- Good sex
- Having fun together
Each couple's privacy is respected as there is no small group time. While based on Christian principles, the course is very practical and is equally relevant for couples whether or not they are involved in a church.
One couple who took The Marriage Course commented, "This course offered different creative strategies for solving issues in our marriage. It was great to have structured one-on-one time alone with my spouse. I loved the fact that it was a mandatory date night."
