Advisers

If you are interested in running the course we suggest that you:

1. Attend The Marriage Course

Either attend at a church near you or go through The Marriage Course using the videos with two or three other couples in your home. This will help familiarise yourselves with the type of material taught on The Marriage Preparation Course and will help make sure there are no unresolved issues in your own marriage.

2. Attend The Marriage Conference or a training day

This will cover:

• how to start The Marriage Preparation Course
• the design and content of the course
• all the practicalities of running a course
• using the PREPARE or FOCCUS questionnaire s
• promoting the course
• a model session of the course which will give you first hand experience of the material

3. Read The Marriage Preparation Course Leaders' and Support Couples' Guide

If you are unable to attend a conference or training day we suggest you read this guide. It will help get you started and will explain what you will need to run the course.

We also suggest you watch The Marriage Preparation Course DVD's or listen to theAudio Tapes. You will also be able to read through the CD-Rom transcripts of the sessions to familiarise yourselves with the course before you start, these will be available in the near future.
