Details of Weekly Sessions

This course is based on and uses the materials of The Marriage Preparation Course (published by Alpha International), which was developed by Nicky and Sila Lee who are on staff at Holy Trinity Brompton, London, UK. Besides viewing the video teaching by Nicky & Sila each week, there are also live speaker sessions, couple discussion time and sharing with other participants in small groups.

In addition, there is a couple assessment called the Prepare/Enrich Assessment, that each participating couple will have to complete online. This assessment identifies the couple's strengths and areas for growth. Couples will need to subsequently meet with their designated counsellor on two occasions to review the results of the assessment.
