Calvary Church offers marriage preparation courses for people considering or planning marriage. The aim of the course is to provide couples with the tools to build a healthy marriage that will last a lifetime. It is a DVD course produced by Nicki and Sila Lee of Holy Trinity Brompton. Dates of courses are by negotiation with the course co-ordinators.
What does it involve?
Each evening consists of a meal followed by short talks (shown on DVD) interspersed with exercises and questions for each couple to discuss. Over 5 sessions the course will cover topics such as:
How to recognise and appreciate your differences
The art of communication
The importance of commitment
Resolving conflict
Spending time together
Nurturing your friendship
Making each other feel loved
Developing a good sexual relationship
The importance of talking about your goals, values and dreams
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.
Cost
The cost per couple is by negotiation, which includes all meals, workbooks and a copy of The Marriage Book. This pre-marriage course is an integral part of a wedding at Calvary Church and it is vital you attend the course. Attendance on the course itself does not guarantee that you will be able to marry at Calvary Church. All marriage requests should be made to Pastor Paul Chamberlain.
