Marriage Preparation Course at SPS

The Marriage Preparation course follows material written by Nicky and Sila Lee, who have been married for over 30 years and speak regularly on relationships and marriage preparation. They are co-authors of The Marriage Book.

The evenings are designed for any engaged couple. While based on Christian principles, the course is relevant and helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.

Topics covered include:
   Communication
   Commitment
   Resolving conflict
   Keeping love alive
   Shared values

Each evening begins with supper. There is then a talk presented on DVD, followed by an opportunity for each couple to discuss issues raised. There is no group work. Each couple has the chance to discuss these issues with a married 'support couple' if they wish.

The cost of the course is £75 per couple which covers all food and drinks for 5 evenings, materials and an on-line “FOCCUS” questionaire. Bursaries are also available, please contact us and we will be pleased to discuss this option.

Our next course is now likely to be in the Spring Term 2011.  If you would like to register your interest for this course, do contact Hannah by email or at the SPS office on 020 7680 2772.

There are also other Marriage Preparation Courses taking place in other parts of the UK and overseas. Please check the course website for the full listing: www.themarriagecourse.org/preparation

'The first session was absolutely amazing. We discovered things about each other that we had not realised in the three years we've been together?'

'We had issues that both of us were too scared to bring up, but did during the course.'
