PRE-MARRIAGE COURSE A two day course for couples who are engaged or thinking of getting engaged. At this interactive weekend we look at topics such as marriage expectations, resolving conflict, in-laws, sex and finances. We demonstrate tools that help couples communicate well and iron out difficulties. This is done in a fun way giving space for couples to discuss things together as well as part of the wider group. During the weekend there will be group work and couples only time. After the weekend each couple has the opportunity of meeting up with two of the facilitators for an informal chat on the topics raised and any other concerns held. The weekend is open to church members and non-members alike. The next course is on Friday 24 November, beginning with a meal at 6.15pm, and Saturday 25 November 9am–4pm in CFC East Belfast.
