As a church, we want to want to do what we can to strengthen marriages and support families. Mike and Kel Hastie will run a Strengthening Marriage Course over three Monday nights from 7.30-9.30pm, starting on the 5th of September. The course is for anyone who’s married, whether you’re newly married or have been married for decades, and both partners should attend. This might mean organising some babysitting for a few weeks, but we think it’s well worth it.

Some things to note:

* Couples will be paired and most of the interaction (especially personal conversation) remains in couples.
* If you are interested in this but it’s not possible to attend in person, we can provide a Zoom link.

The course:
Session 1:
* God’s design for marriage
* Connectedness
* Conflict (introduction)

Session 2:
* Friendship
* Communication
* Spiritual intimacy
* Sexual intimacy

Session 3:
* Family of origin
* Managing Conflict
* Children
