Marriage Course Leader's Guide

By Nicky Lee and Sila Lee

Marriage Course, developed by Nicky and Sila Lee, is a seven-session study designed to help couples obtain the tools to build a strong and healthy relationship that lasts a lifetime. This Leader's Guide offers a concise yet thorough overview of Marriage Course. It includes timetables for each evening, suggested reading, details on how to set up and run the course, and practical tips for making your Marriage Course successful.

The course covers:

• An Introduction to Marriage Course
• Building Strong Foundations
• The Art of Communication
• Resolving Conflict
• Forgiveness
• The Impact of Family - past and present
• Good Sex
• Love in Action
• Marriage Course Party
• Coping with Times of Separation (optional session)

Marriage Course serves as a bridge between the church and local community by recognizing the need to go beyond the social, as well as physical, walls of the church to help couples with their relationships. The courses are easy to run, and the talks are also available on DVD (sold separately). If you enjoy hosting people and have a passion for strengthening family life, you could run a course!

Acknowledgments

We’re so glad that you’ve decided to run The Marriage Course and we hope you enjoy the experience as much as we do. We’ve run it three times a year since 1996, and we love it! For us, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing the couples’ relationships being strengthened, and in some cases, transformed over the eight sessions.

This Leaders’ Guide is designed as a quick reference. We find it really helpful to have it with us when we are running a session. The checklists and timetables are particularly useful and help keep us on track.

For training and additional in-depth information on how to run the course, we suggest you get hold of The Marriage Course Leaders’ Toolkit. This has lots of helpful advice on setting up, running and publicizing a course.

Please do contact us if you have any questions and do let us know how you get on. We love to hear feedback from other
