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.
