The Marriage Course
 

The Marriage Course is an eight week programme aimed at giving married couples the practical tools to build strong and healthy marriages that last a lifetime.

The marriage course is currently facilitated by Lynne and Barry Smith who have been married for 20 years and have two children - a son of 13 and a daughter of 11. The course is ideal for any couples who have been together for at least 2 years as a couple. Although the course is called the Marriage course you do not have to be married to do the course. Couple who are engaged or are planning to be married in the near future will benefit greatly from the course.

The most recent marriage course was held in the church in April / May and was attended by seven couples, with age groups ranging from 60's to 20's. The greatest strength of the course is that as a couple you are able to discuss difficult issues and sometimes contentious issues in a safe environment. Often couples will tend to avoid discussing certain areas of their marriage such as in-laws or sex as they wish to avoid conflict or embarrassment. The marriage course engages couples to open up and discuss how they really feel about issues and covers topics such as:

• forgiveness

• conflict in marriage

• love languages

• sex

• in-laws

All couples in the church are welcome.
