FAQ

How long does the course go for?

Is there a cost to attend the course?

Yes. The course is $50 per couple and you each receive your own course manual.

What format does the course take?

There are two components to the course. One is the Course material in the manual presented by Course facilitators. The other are the couple exercises set out in the manual.

Each night of the course involves material that is presented in a group setting and couple exercises done in private between each couple.

During the couple exercises you are encouraged to sit anywhere in the room and we play music to allow for privacy of discussion. We usually limit the course to 15 couples to allow for privacy.

Do we have to share with other couples that attend the course?

No. The couple exercises are exactly that and are kept private. At no time do you disclose your discussions and outcomes to other people attending the course.

Who can attend the course?

The course is available for married couples and engaged couples only.

Does it matter how long we have been married?

No. The Course has been attended by newly married couples right through to couples who have been married for 25 years or more. The material is relevant and helpful for any couple who desire to build and refresh the intimacy of their marriage.

How can I register to attend the course?

We have a sign up desk for two Sundays prior to the start of each course at the Brisbane Campus. Alternatively you can ring the Church office (3252 1300) and ask for Graham Forster or email Graham using the link at the top of this page.
