The Marriage Course
The Marriage Course offers married couples a practical way to strengthen and enrich their relationship. It takes effort and dedication to keep the fun and romance alive, while navigating the challenges of married life, something which all couples have to deal with. This course offers tools and strategies for improved communication, resolving conflict, deepening connection, and fostering forgiveness. While based on Christian principles, the course is beneficial and relevant for any couple, regardless of their faith or how long they have been married, and provides a private, "date night" setting for couples to invest in their relationship and build a lasting bond.
Each session will have a video input followed by discussion between each couple. There is no group sharing, everything is confidential to each couple. Refreshments will be served.

After 13 years of marriage, my husband and I were facing difficulties. This course gave us a gentle space to speak honestly and listen with new hearts. The course was a meaningful experience for us, giving us practical tools, dedicated time together, and gentle guidance that helped us strengthen our communication and deepen our understanding of one another. We’re grateful for the space it created to reflect, reconnect, and grow as a couple.
We had been married for 5 years and were worried we were starting to get into a rut. We hadn’t yet had children and I was worried that if we didn’t do something to reconnect before we became parents, it would be much harder to reestablish that spark down the line.
The format and set up made it feel personal and intimate and the hosts were so welcoming and friendly. It definitely gave us a chance to rekindle those sparks that had drawn us together from the start.
We highly recommend it as an MOT for your marriage, no matter how many years you‘ve been married. We just celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary and I’m grateful for all that we learned on The Marriage Course. It was the best thing we could have done.
