Is it time to look again at your marriage ?
"Our cars need an M.O.T every year - how much more do our marriages need
a service now and again?"
Research shows the benefits of marriage and stable relationships, economically,
physically and emotionally. But over time, we all change and encounter new
situations. Within the lifetime of a marriage, people may experience relocation,
bereavement, a growing family, new opportunities, with all their accompanying sorrows
and joys. When marriage is working well, it's great and a source of confidence for
life. But keeping relationships in good condition requires commitment to working
issues through.
The flexibility to adapt to new situations, perhaps even more than
initial compatibility, is essential to enjoying your marriage. So it's a good idea to take time out with your partner occasionally, to look at
your marriage, to rejoice in your strengths, and maybe to learn some ways in which
you could make things even better.
We offer a number of events to help you. Find out which is most appropriate
for you:
- 2gether - a day course giving couples the opportunity to explore their relationship and try out new ideas.
- The Marriage Course - a series of evenings, each starting with a meal, for any married couple.
- Couple-to-couple sessions - meet up with another married couple to explore your relationship.
