Pre-marriage courses for couples
Pre-marriage courses can help couples prepare for those challenges that occur in every marriage or long term relationship and to learn skills for maintaining and enhancing the relationship.
Couples face more demands and stresses in their relationship than previous generations. Expectations of partners are higher yet there is less support.
This course is for couples who want to think about and understand what is involved in maintaining a long-term, committed relationship whether it be a marriage or a de facto relationship.
Most couples prefer to meet individually rather than in a group setting. It is recommended that couples attend 3 x 2 hourly sessions ideally once a week for three weeks.
3 x 2 hour sessions will cover the following topics:
| • |
communication |
| |
|
| • |
commitment |
| |
|
| • |
influence of family backgrounds |
| |
|
| • |
problems |
| |
|
| • |
intimacy |
| |
|
| • |
building and maintaining a rewarding relationship |
Couples are welcome to come for a one-off session before or after the course to discuss a specific issue. Please ring to enquire about times and fees.
Group sessions will be held at certain times and depending on demand. Please check the website for details or ring to enquire about times.
