The Marriage Course logo

The Official Marriage Course Website
The Marriage course is a course developed and produced by Nicky and Sila Lee from Holy Trinity Brompton. Christ Church aims to run one or more of these courses each term. Each course normally take places in someone home and caters for up to 5 couples.

The aim of the course
The aim of The Marriage Course is to enable married couples to build a strong and intimate marriage that will last a lifetime. Over eight evenings spent together they find out new things about each other, and new things about themselves. They have the opportunity to talk about issues that have been swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life. They discover what makes their partner feel loved. They have time to discuss ways they have caused each other pain and discover how to heal the hurt. They recognise the sources of pressure on their relationship. Some learn new skills for communicating and resolving conflict. Others make changes in their lifestyle in order to nurture their marriage, and they grow closer to each other in the process.

Their privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no requirement to disclose anything personal to a third party, but they are expected to talk to each other!

Who is the course for?
The Marriage Course is for any couple who want to work together at their relationship. Some couples who attend the course have been married for less than two years while others for more than thirty. The course is beneficial and enjoyable for those whose marriage is already strong. It also helps those who are going through difficulties.
