The Marriage Course

Seven Week Class  begins Sept 28
Registration Required 
Space is Limited to 9 couples

What is The Marriage Course?
The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage. 
The Marriage Course was developed in 1996 by Nicky and Sila Lee (authors of The Marriage Book) for couples looking for practical support to strengthen their relationship.
Over 7 sessions, the course will help you to: Understand each other’s needs, Communicate more effectively, Grow closer by learning methods to resolve conflict, Recover from the ways you may have hurt each other, Recognize how your upbringing affects your relationship, Improve relationships with parents and in-laws, Develop greater sexual intimacy, Discover each other’s "love language" and much, much more....
Who is it for? The Marriage Course is for couples who have been married or in a cohabiting relationship over 3 year and seeking to strengthen their relationship. Some couples take the course to invest in their relationship, others need more urgent help. Either way, the course offers a lifetime of practical ideas and tools to help keep your relationship strong. The Marriage Course is based on Christian principles but designed for all couples with or without a church background.
What can we expect? On The Marriage Course, you are seated at your own table for two. Each session consists of food and drink, a practical talk and a time for private discussion between you and your partner. Background music ensures that you can chat in complete privacy. You never share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner.
What is the cost? The Marriage Course is $50 in advance or $10 a week.  (Partial scholarships are available)  We believe that you should invest something if you are truly going to get something out of the course.  The cost is also to help offset our cost of materials and meals.
