married or cohabitting?

Nicky and Sila Lee have also produced a course for married or cohabiting couples.
Find out more about the marriage course.

Top Tip

Sit down and discuss with each other your expectations of the roles you will each fulfill in your marriage, eg. Who will deal with the finances? Who will take out the rubbish?

about the preparation course

A five session course set in a fantastic atmosphere. You will be served with a candlelit meal and/or coffee, tea and dessert in a romantic setting while listening to practical talks that are informative and fun, either given live or played on DVD.

There is never any group work and you will never be asked to share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner.

Over five sessions of the course you will discover practical tools to help you build the foundations for a lasting marriage. You will look at:

  • the importance of commitment
  • how to recognise and appreciate your differences
  • the art of communication
  • resolving conflict
  • the importance of spending time together and nurturing your friendship
  • making each other feel loved
  • developing a good sexual relationship
  • the importance of talking about your goals, values and dreams
the aim of the preparation course is to help couples lay the foundations for a relationship that will last a lifetime why do the course?

If you’re like most people you prepare and plan for many things in life: education, career, retirement and holidays. And most couples spend up to 250 hours planning their wedding, but very little time, if any, planning for married life. There are many things you can do to begin building a lifelong, happy marriage. Investing in your relationship before you are married will reap rewards for many years to come.

what others say

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I’ve learnt so much and now instead of being terrified of our differences we have embraced them. Instead of worrying about what might go wrong we now have tools that will help us overcome those issues.

It was an excellent way of making clear the differences between us and getting us to discuss it further in a good way. We know we have areas we need to work on, but we are very aware of them and how we can handle them.
