Running The Marriage Course
Run The Marriage Course
The Marriage Course is an easy-to-run, seven-session course designed to support married couples looking for practical support to strengthen their relationship. No expertise is needed to run the course. You may have experience working on your own marriage, or you are passionate to see marriages and family life strengthened in your community. You don’t need to be married to run The Marriage Course, but we do recommend having a married couple on hand for support.
As we watched the series, it has been a breath of fresh air for our community. It is convenient and simple to facilitate. Week by week, we haven’t seen the numbers taper off and in fact, we’ve added couples taking the course. The team has put an outstanding resource together. We anticipate every week being encouraging, strengthening and building on the week before. The is no doubt the pastoral and evangelistic nature of The Marriage Course springboards everyone involved towards a biblically strong marriage.
