Q: Who is The Marriage Course for?

While The Marriage Course is based on Christian principles, it is designed for couples with or without a Christian faith. All couples are welcome to attend whether or not they have a Christian faith or any religious faith at all.

We are confident that all couples will find the courses relevant and helpful for their relationship whether they have been together for one year or ten+ years. It's a tune-up for strong relationships and a solid foundation for wobbly relationships.
