The Marriage Course

Are you wanting to invest in building a better, stronger marriage? We are running The Marriage Course, written by Holy Trinity Brompton church, which equips couples with tools and techniques to keep the spark alive and stay connected. Each couple’s conversations are completely private.

The course runs over 7 sessions. We have spaced the sessions to give you time together to process and build on what you've learned.  The sessions last approximately 1 hour 40 minutes including your conversations with each other as a couple.

£18.00 per couple which includes the Course Journals but please sign up for both partners. (Please let us know if the cost is an issue for you, we don't want anyone to miss out!)

Eat
The first and last sessions will be a brunch here at Riverside Vineyard.  Subsequent sessions will be online but we encourage you to share a meal together before the session or have some treats ready for the conversation times. This is an opportunity to unwind and connect, helping to create the romance and enjoyment of a date. 

Watch 
Each engaging and enriching session explores a different topic through real experiences, expert insights and relevant teaching, with breaks for conversations.  

Talk
Through workbook prompts and questions, you will be invited to enjoy private, intimate conversations that help you to engage with honesty and openness throughout the session.

We would love you to join us. Your marriage. But better.

MARRIAGE MINISTRY TEAM

The health of our marriages is such a vital part of our discipleship, and at Riverside we have a passion to see couples thrive. Our marriage ministry covers pre-marriage, marriage (termly events to help us grow in our marriages) as well as support for couples who feel they need a little extra help. We are wanting to grow the marriage team so that we can expand this vital ministry and would love you to be a part of this!

We want interested couples to feel that they:

· can give as much or as little as you feel able

· don’t need the ‘perfect’ marriage to join us. We're just looking for couples who are willing to be on a journey of growth in their own marriages.

If as a couple, you would be interested in finding out more about being part of the team, please email Ali Abrahams at ali@riversidevineyard.com
