This is a seven-session course developed by Nicky and Sila Lee, directors of Family Ministries at Holy Trinity Brompton.  This course is not only for those venturing blissfully into marriage or for those struggling, but for anyone who is married.  Learn how to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime.  Over seven sessions couple talk about important topics such as: recognizing each other’s needs, learning to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, knowing how to make each other feel loved, relating to parents and in-laws, good sex, making time for each other, and having fun together.
