The Alpha Marriage Course

Our first Alpha Marriage course ended this spring.  While there are plans to hold another in the next eighteen months, right now we have not chosen a date. 

The last series of eight sessions was facilitated by Kim and Larry Coulter and was designed to help any married couple strengthen their relationship. Marriage Alpha provides a great opportunity to spend time together as a couple looking at the important issues in their marriages. Each week presents an opportunity to enjoy a special meal together and listen to a talk, followed by plenty of time to discuss the topic as a couple. There is no group work involved at any stage of the course.

Below are titles for each of the weekly talks:

• Building Strong Foundations
• The Art of Communication
• Resolving Conflict
• The Power of Forgiveness
• Parents and In-Laws
• Good Sex
• Love in Action
• The Marriage Course Party – What Makes a Marriage Work?

What Couples Say

“We had areas of conflict in our marriage…we were a couple of hotheads. The course gave us some really good tools and practical help, mainly in the area of listening. We learned how to listen to each other and just to reflect. We learned to respond in a healthy way.”- Mark

“I have to say doing the course has given us tools which have made things better, and it does work.”- Katie

“It has made a huge difference. We are no longer walking on egg shells…how we wish we had The Marriage Course to go to 35 years ago at the start of our marriage. It’s never too late to put things right.”- Alan
