Designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage.
The Marriage Course has been run in over 127 countries for over 1 million couples.
What is The Marriage Course?
The Marriage Course and The Pre-Marriage Course act as a bridge between the church and the local community by recognising the need to go beyond the social, as well as physical, walls of the church to help couples with their relationships. The Marriage Course is designed to be easy for churches to run; with episodes that are available to download online for free, along with training, guides, and journals. The sessions are completely private, with no group work.
What does a Marriage Course Session look like?
Food
Each session begins with couples eating together. This gives guests a chance to unwind and connect before the session’s episode. It also helps to create the atmosphere of a date.
Talk
The episodes are around 45 minutes in length, with breaks for conversations. Each episode explores a different topic through real experiences, expert insights and relevant teaching.
Discussion
Providing space for couples to have private, intimate conversations is a must for every course. It helps enable couples to engage openly and honestly throughout the session.
