The Marriage Course in Norfolk
 The Marriage Course organisers in Norfolk run two courses: The Marriage Course and The Marriage Preparation Course.
The Marriage Course
How to build a healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime
What is the Marriage Course ?
The Marriage Course is very practical, giving any married couple the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime.
Over eight evenings spent together couples talk about important issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life.
Topics covered include: recognising each other's needs, learning to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, knowing how to make each other feel loved, relating to parents and in-laws, good sex, making time for each other and having fin together.
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else
 What's involved ?
Each evening begins with a candlelit meal. There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple.
The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening.
The Marriage Course is for any married couple who wants to build a strong and lasting relationship especially:
those who want to enhance their marriage
those at a challenging stage in their marriage e.g. the birth of a child, a career change, teenagers at home, the 'empty nest'
those struggling with issues in their marriage
The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background
The Marriage Preparation Course
Developing strong foundations for a lasting marriage
 What is the Marriage Preparation Course?
The Marriage Preparation Course is for any engaged couple who wants to develop strong foundations for a lasting marriage.
Over five evenings spent together you will learn important tools that will enable you to make your marriage work
how to recognise and appreciate your differences
the importance of commitment
nurturing your friendship
making each other feel loved
developing a good sexual relationship
the importance of talking about your goals,values and dreams
The evenings are very relaxed with refreshments provided. There are short talks interspersed with exercises and questions for you to discuss together as a couple. Before the first evening you and your fiancé(e) will be asked to fill in a questionnaire which is confidential and designed to help you learn more about yourselves and your relationship. You will then be given the opportunity to discuss these issues with a support couple if you wish.
It is for any engaged couple who wants to have the best possible start to their marriage. The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful and relevant for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.
