We recommend that couples complete a questionnaire called FOCCUS prior to the start of the course. The questionnaire raises important issues that couples may not have considered. Its aim is to bring about open and honest communication between the couple. It is a tool to help couples identify and work through areas they will benefit from discussing prior to marriage.
FOCCUS can be completed on written sheets or on-line and the answers analysed. Couples' responses remain anonymous while being processed and the results are completely confidential until the couple themselves wish to look at them. Each couple then has the opportunity to meet up with their support couple outside the course on a separate evening to look through and discuss their results.
The aims of the questionnaire are:
For the couple to explore all issues that require discussion
For the couple to be sure they are ready for marriage
For the couple to have a realistic view of what makes a strong marriage
Cost
The cost of completing the questionnaire is £10 per couple.
