Frequently asked questions
How long does each session take?
Approximately 2 hours.
I can't make every session. Is it still possible to attend the rest of the course?
Yes. To get the most out of The Marriage Course we recommend you try to come to every session, but if you do miss one you could always catch up by watching the missed session's episode online (link to be provided). You can then work through it with your journals in your own time. We do not recommend attempting the whole course on your own like this.
Can I invite my non-Christian friend?
Yes, you can. While the course is based on Christian principles, it's designed for couples with or without a Christian faith. We'd love any couple to feel welcome to attend, whether or not they have a Christian faith or any religious faith at all. We're confident all couples will find the course relevant and helpful for their relationship.
Will I have to share personal things with the whole group?
No. Each session includes time to talk, but you'll only ever talk privately with your own spouse at your own table — never with the wider group. What's said between you two stays between you two.
What do I do as a volunteer?
We'll provide a briefing and introduce you to the location host you'll be volunteering with, so you'll know exactly what to expect before your first session.
