Who is it for?
It is for any married couple who want to work together at and
invest in their relationship. It doesn't matter if you've been
married for less than two years or more than thirty.
If you have a strong marriage this course will help you make it
even better and will reinforce your good habits.
If on the other hand your marriage is in difficulty, the course
will help provide you with very practical tools to help you work
through the issues. Some couples who are separated have used the
course as a way of trying to get back together.
Participants need to come as a couple as discussion is only
between partners and there is no 'whole-group'
discussion.
 While
the course is based on Christian principles, couples are welcome
with or without a church background.
Many couples who are not churchgoers have enjoyed and
benefited from doing the course.
