The Pre-Marriage Course
Welcome to The Pre-Marriage Course Online
The Pre-Marriage Course is a series of five sessions, designed for couples considering marriage and wishing to build a strong and lasting relationship. While based on Christian principles, it is relevant and helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background. The founders, Nicky and Sila Lee, have been married for over forty years and speak regularly on relationships and marriage preparation. They are co-authors of The Marriage Book. For more information, click here.
How does it work?
The course runs exactly as it would be if you were attending in person. If you are not in the same location, you can still do the course by having each ordered a journal, watching the film of the relevant session simultaneously and conducting your conversations when indicated by Skype, FaceTime or Zoom.
Each session lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes, half of which will be for your conversations.
The films will be available from Thursday 21 May and you will be given access as soon as you sign up.
If you are in the same location, try to make it feel as special as possible. Don’t forget the candles, snacks, drinks, older kids in another room and the younger ones in bed.
When does it start?
Our next course will commence in the Autumn of 2020.
What happens when we sign up?
Once you register, we will send you the link for you to connect to the online course.
We will be running the course free of charge. The only cost you will incur is purchasing two course journals - you will need one each - and these can be bought from The Alpha Shop or CLC.
Please allow up to 10 days for delivery.
The Couple Survey
We send all couples registered on the course a questionnaire called the Couple Survey. The Couple Survey is completed online. The questionnaire will help you identify and recognise topics to discuss as a couple prior to marriage. Following the course, we will send you an overview of your survey report. If you would like to discuss the full report, and the relevant points raised, we will work with you to find a suitable Support Couple who will connect with you via Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. Since training is required to interpret the results, we will not pass a copy of the full report to you directly. We will email you details of the questionnaire around two weeks before the start of the course (if you register later than this, there will be a delay in receiving the survey).
