The Marriage Course & The Marriage Preparation Course
About The Marriage Course
With two out of every five marriages breaking down in the Europe and North America and the divorce increasing dramatically in Asia Pacific, the institution of marriage is under threat today. The aim of The Marriage Course is to help reverse the decline by enabling married couples to build a healthy marriage that will last a lifetime.
The eight-session course was pioneered in 1996 at Holy Trinity Brompton, London. The Marriage Course involves a candlelit dinner, a talk and an opportunity for each couple to discuss a wide variety of issues relating to married life. The course is intended for happily married couples as well as those experiencing difficulties and is designed for non-churchgoers as well as churchgoing couples. It is our experience that the Marriage Course can also be an entry point for non believers to learn more about the Christian faith.
Topics covered on the course include Building Strong Foundations, The Art of Communication, Resolving Conflict, The Power of Forgiveness, Parents and In-Laws, Good Sex, and Love in Action.
The course has already been completed by more than a 1,000 couples at Holy Trinity Brompton, London and is now running in over 802 venues across the UK.
The Marriage Course manual has been translated into 7 languages, including Chinese, and is being run in 70 countries around the world including the United States, Canada, Belgium, Malta, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
About The Marriage Preparation Course
Being well prepared for marriage is invaluable. Our experience has shown us again and again that many couples today are open to receiving help as they approach this lifelong commitment and that they enjoy the experience of learning more about marriage and more about their fiance(e).' - Nicky and Sila Lee
Nicky and Sila Lee, the authors of The Marriage Book, have been developing The Marriage Preparation Course at Holy Trinity Brompton since 1985. They started with a few couples in their home and now run the course three times a year with approximately 100 engaged couples on each course.
Topics covered on the course include Communication, Commitment, Resolving conflict, Keeping love alive and Shared values.
The course is now available for others to use whether in a large group or with one or two couples in a home environment.
