Alpha Marriage Course Starts Mon 12 May
The Alpha Marriage Course Monday nights 7pm, 12 May to 30 June 2025 at RCC.
Who Is The Course For?
It is for all couples whether you have been married for six months or over 40 years, whether you are in a good place or struggling. The course helps couples navigate the modern challenges of marriage. It is based on Christian principles, designed to help couples strengthen their relationship.
Topics Include:
- Strengthening Connection
- The Art of Communication
- Resolving Conflict
- The Power of Forgiveness
- The Impact of Family – Past & Present
This course runs over seven weeks and is designed to help couples invest in and grow their relationship. Each session is arranged around a date night dessert and video talks interspersed with private discussions between couples.
Don’t be concerned that you will have to discuss any of your marriage issues with others. The private discussion times are just that - private between the two of you.
