On The Pre-Marriage Course, guests are hosted by a married couple, either online or in person. Each session is about two hours long and includes a video and discussion time. Each couple’s discussions are completely private.

Each course is unique, but an in-person session includes food, a practical talk, and a time for discussion between couples. Background music ensures that they can chat in complete privacy. They will never be asked to share anything about their relationship with anyone other than their partner.

Prior to the start of the course or during the first few sessions, guests may be asked to take the online Couples Survey. This is a questionnaire and not a test of compatibility! It is designed to help couples highlight issues that are important to discuss before getting married. It also affirms areas of strength in their relationship.
