THE MARRIAGE COURSE

What is The Marriage Course (TMC)?  

From the folks at Alpha, The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions designed to help any couple strengthen their relationship.

  The Marriage Course is for anyone who is married to help them to get the most out of their marriage. 

  It is based on Christian principles but is very suitable for non-church goers.

  It gives couples skills to grow together and to deepen their intimacy with each other.

  And it is enjoyable too!".

Who is The Marriage Course (TMC) for?

  • Any couple that wants to work together at their relationship. 

  • It is for those who have been married less than two years, or for more than thirty.
  • The course is beneficial and enjoyable for those whose marriage is already strong.  It also helps couples who are going through difficulties.  They are able to re-open communication in a guided and constructive way.
  • Some couples who are separated or divorced have used the course as a way of trying to get back together.
  • This course is also very helpful for engaged couples.

  • Although the course is based on Christian principles, it is very suitable for those with no Christian faith or church background.

What's involved?

The Marriage Course begins with a romantic dinner for two, followed by a talk. There will be time for desert as each couple discusses the topic of the night by themselves. 

Privacy as a couple is always respected.  There is NO group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.  You will be encouraged to talk to your spouse.

What will it cost?

The Registrations fee is $12 which covers the cost of the workbook.  Please include your payment with the Registration Form (call the church at (217) 935-6178 and request one)

There is also a suggested weekly price of $10 per couple for dinner. 

Checks can be made out to "Clinton Presbyterian Church" (put "The Marriage Course" in the memo line).

When and where?

Clinton Presbyterian Church will begin The Marriage Course on: Thursday, January 27, 2005 at 5:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall (next to the Sanctuary on the main floor).  It will continue for 7 weeks and conclude on March 10th.
