How does the course work?

The Marriage Course sessions include time to eat, watch and talk.

There are no group discussions on Marriage Course. Every conversation is just between each couple – totally private and confidential. Each couple sits together, like on a date, and eats a meal, watches an episode, and discusses the content together.

Eat
Eat together

At the start of each session, couples share a special meal together. This is an opportunity to unwind and connect, helping to create a night together where each person is investing in their relationship.

WAtch
Watch an episode

Each engaging and enriching episode explores a different topic through real experiences, expert insights, relevant teaching and couples sharing their relationship journeys.

Talk
Talk privately

Using the guest journal, couples are invited to enjoy private, intimate conversations. These help couples to engage together with honesty and openness throughout the session, building practical skills to support one another.

Hear what people are saying about The Marriage Course

Kirsty | Brisbane, Australia

“The Marriage Course not only transformed my marriage, it saved my life. We had been married for three years when my husband and I did the course. We had a traumatic birth, lost another child and we needed real help. Now we have been married for 15 years, we have had twins and I tell everyone to do The Marriage Course.”

Kirk | Portland, USA

“Couples are loving the experience of going through the The Marriage Course as it provides so much space for them to talk about content throughout each evening in the privacy of their own home. We feel the opportunity to do this online has reached far more couples than we ever could have imagined.”

Online Guest | Oman

“We’ve really appreciated this marriage course. Not just because of the easy to engage format, but also because of the quality of the video content. The hosts in the videos are great at clearly communicating ideas in an entertaining way that makes us feel like we’ve been invited into their lives to learn alongside them.”
