Couples invited to participate in The Marriage Course

Couples are invited to participate in the ‘The Marriage Course’ (TMC) created by Nicky and Sila Lee as part of the Alpha programme.

It will be hosted as a Lenten retreat by members of Teams of Our Lady (TOOL). This is an opportunity for couples to take advantage of this free, virtual course for the next seven Saturdays 7-9 p.m. starting February 17 and running until March 30.

Please fill out the Google form by February 10 to participate via Zoom and to obtain the pdf workbook, one each to print.

TMC has excellent reviews that you can research online or speak with others who have already done the programme.

There are seven sessions, each two hours consisting of videos, with breaks within the sessions, for you to address questions in your workbooks individually and as a couple.

“We want to encourage you, whether you’ve been together for a short or a long time; whether you’re in a good place as a couple or you’re struggling—whatever your situation— you’ve come to the right place,” said the Lees. “We’re confident that, as you engage with the material on The Marriage Course, you’ll find out more about what your partner thinks and feels. However long you’ve been together, there’s always going to be more to discover.”

In your own home, you are encouraged to set up a date night, with a meal or refreshment. This special atmosphere creates a feeling of safety and helps you as a couple to open up to each other and have those important, honest, and intimate conversations. For privacy, your videos and microphone can be off for this programme.

Couples come on TMC for a variety of reasons – knowing that their conversations and workbooks are private, and given that there is no group work, encourages many couples to attend who, otherwise, would not consider it.

TMC gives hope and encouragement, as well as practical tools, for any couple from any background, with or without a Christian faith, so you are welcome to invite others to strengthen or restore their connection for a healthy marriage.
