The Marriage Course
What is the Course?
The Marriage Course first began at Holy Trinity Brompton in London UK in September 1996. The course material was developed by the same organization that developed the ALPHA course.
The Marriage Course is very practical, giving married couples the tools to build strong marriages that will last a lifetime.
The course consists of seven sessions over a 10 week period. Couples spend time together talking about important issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life.
Sessions include:
- Session 1 - Building Strong Foundations
- Session 2 - The Art of Communications
- Session 3 - Resolving Conflict
- Session 4 - The Power of Forgiveness
- Session 5 - Parents and In-Laws
- Session 6 - Good Sex
- Session 7 - Love in Action
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.
Each session will begin at 7:15 p.m. with refreshments. The teaching commences promptly at 7:30 and finish at 9:30 p.m.
Who is the course for?
For those couples who want to work together at their relationship.
For those couples whose marriages are already strong.
For those couples who are going through difficulties.
