Here are reasons why you and your spouse
should participate in Marriage Education

Set Your Marriage or Committed
Relationship Up For Success

“Divorce Proof Your Marriage”

Couples who take a Marriage Class make their
Marriages Stronger and are less likely to Divorce.

Divorce-Proof Your Marriage: 

Couples who participate in a Marriage preparation class are less likely to divorce. Our educational program is best defined as knowledge and skills-based training, which aims at providing couples with information on ways to improve their relationship.

Set Your Marriage Up for Success: 

Have you ever read the “secrets of success” from couples married for fifty years?  Their words of wisdom are: “we don’t go to bed angry,” “we try to laugh a lot,” “we just take it one day at a time.”  While snappy and simple, these principles take a lot of work and determination.  Couples who go through Marriage education can learn these principles for success (and more) and put them into practice.

Turn Your Fears or Concerns into Non-Issues:

It is natural to have some anxieties about marriage.  Will we divorce?  Will we be happy?  Will my spouse cheat?  Will I be a good spouse?  Marriage education provides couples with the necessary time to learn, discover, and discuss specific matters; and can turn the most anxious of fiancées and spouses into confident ones.  While there’s no “foolproof test”, couples that spend time working through issues before the wedding, can leave their fears and concerns in the dust as they walk down the aisle.

Diffuse Any Ticking Time Bombs that Could Threaten Your Relationship: 

Everyone carries some form of baggage into their relationship.  Marriage is the room where the luggage gets unpacked.  Some of the contents are quirky, some are annoying, and some can be explosive and do real harm to the relationship.  Marriage education can provide the opportunity to screen the baggage, identify the threats (past family pain, unresolved anger issues, recent hurts), address and resolve them, and therefore diffuse any ticking time bombs that can and will threaten your marriage relationship.

If You’re Not Going to Spend Time on Your Relationship Now, then When?: 

The earlier a couple spends time and energy on their relationship, the better their chances are of having a happy, fulfilling, and successful marriage. Marriage education can be the springboard for a lifetime of conscious activities that enhance your relationship.  Some couples resist the idea of Marriage Education.  Their excuses range from being too busy, too cool, too smart, or too mature to participate in it.  But, if you’re not willing to spend the time on your relationship now, what makes you think you (or your spouse) will spend the time when things really aren’t going so well?
