Immanuel Anglican Church | THE MARRIAGE COURSE

The Marriage Course is a series of seven online sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage.

The course is designed to help couples build strong foundations, and to:

• Communicate more effectively

• Understand each other's needs

• Resolve conflict

• Recognize how upbringing affects your relationship

• Develop greater sexual intimacy

This course will run online September 23-November 4 and couples have two options for participating:

1 ~ Join Ethan and Lindsay on Wednesday evenings on Zoom, watch the videos in 'community" from 7:30-9:30pm Central time. There will be an initial greeting, announcements and an invitation to watch the videos together.

2 ~ Choose another 'date night' (or time) that works for you and watch the videos together. Ethan will send out links to the videos on Wednesday morning each week.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Marriage Course is for couples who are seeking to strengthen their relationship. Some couples do the course to intentionally invest in their relationship, others are looking to address more specific challenges. Either way, the course offers essential tools and practical ideas to help you build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

The Marriage Course is based on Christian principles but designed for all couples with or without a church background.

“TMC gently guided us to explore areas of our lives that we had never discussed. We were able to express our insecurities and unspoken expectations which had the potential to cause a lot of damage if unaddressed, which was scary - as we would have considered our marriage a “good marriage.”

— Manfred and Shaida, UK

FAQS

• What will an evening on the Marriage Course Online look like?

We really encourage people to make it special. Have some special food you both enjoy, a good drink, maybe some candles! Treat it like a date night! When you have everything set up, log on to Zoom through the link provided after registering. Ethan and his wife Lindsay will welcome everyone once they’ve arrived, share a few thoughts, and then they will invite everyone to start the video through a link they will send you. Everyone will mute and stop video so they can have privacy. Each evening involves 4-5 conversations embedded into the video discussions. After the video is complete, we will invite everyone back to offer a few parting words.

• What if Wednesday doesn’t work for us?

Its okay! We will send the video link every Wednesday, if you want to have your date night on another night, go for it. But if you do, be consistent, make it special, and let Ethan and Lindsay know how we can support you.

• Will we have to share with other couples?

No. The course is designed for couples to talk to each other and invest in one another. If couples want to share their experience with the group after, we will offer that opportunity, but there is no pressure.
