Marriage Course, developed by Nicky and Sila Lee, is a seven-session study designed to help couples obtain the tools to build a strong and healthy relationship that lasts a lifetime. This Leader's Guide offers a concise yet thorough overview of Marriage Course. It includes timetables for each evening, suggested reading, details on how to set up and run the course, and practical tips for making your Marriage Course successful. This leader's guide is included with The Alpha Pre-Marriage Course and is also sold separately.
The course covers:
- An Introduction to Marriage Course
- Building Strong Foundations
- The Art of Communication
- Resolving Conflict
- Forgiveness
- The Impact of Family - past and present
- Good Sex
- Love in Action
- Marriage Course Party
- Coping with Times of Separation (optional session)
Marriage Course serves as a bridge between the church and local community by recognizing the need to go beyond the social, as well as physical, walls of the church to help couples with their relationships. The courses are easy to run, and the talks are also available on DVD (sold separately). If you enjoy hosting people and have a passion for strengthening family life, you could run a course!
