1. Who is the course for?
Couples who are about to marry or who have recently married. The course is primarily for couples aged in their 20s and 30's where this is their first marriage.
It must be the first marriage for at least one of the participants and no greater than a second marriage for the other. We stress that this is not a test for marriage and compatibility, we assume that your relationship is strong and you don't have any big worries or issues.

Yes. We know you have a happy relationship and you want to stay that way. You both know that everyone needs to learn relationship skills and it is better to gain the insights early and prevent problems from developing in the first place. This workshop is relationship skills education, not therapy.
