The 'Let's Make It Work' pre marriage course will have a very positive effect on your relationship now and in your future married life. It will allow you to share common experiences and issues at a comfortable level and raise awareness about your relationship now and in your future life as you transition in your relationship. 

Couples can either participate in a Sunday workshop or a PREPARE Relationship Inventory (via appointment).

Areas explored in program:

Couples at each course choose the specific issues they wish to explore. Some popular choices are as follows:

• Communication
• Conflict resolution
• Decision-making
• Exploring relationship, familial and societal expectations
• Designing a marriage that works for both of us
• Mixing different cultural backgrounds and family influence
• Recognising and meetings needs – your needs, my needs, our needs
• Coping with stress
• Budgeting and financial planning
• Balancing work and family; adjusting to parenthood, twin careers, etc
• Reasons for marrying

Marriage is a lifelong commitment comprising of many transitions. Obviously, lifelong learning continues well after the marriage ceremony, but our "Let's Make It Work" program aims to raise awareness of relationship strengths and encourages couples to discuss some of the critical and practical issues surrounding the marriage commitment. Assisting couples in the development of sound communication skills is at the heart of connecting.
