Marriage preparation classes focus on you and your love for each other.

During the course you will complete ten private conversations using the tear-out conversations from “The Greatest Is Love,” a book that Rev. Dr. Nelson authored. Three of the conversations take place during the three class sessions. The other seven talks are assigned to be completed as homework. Many couples are surprised at how enjoyable the classes are and talk about how easy and fun the conversations are.

Discussion topics are designed to help you deepen your love and understanding!

You’ll learn more about your strengths and growth opportunities as individuals and as a couple.

In addition to the ten talks, you will have the opportunity to complete a brief, online inventory called Prepare-Enrich, designed to deepen your awareness of some of the strengths and growth areas in your relationship. It will also increase give you a better understanding of the personality mix of your marriage.

During the last session you will be able to practice an effective, time-tested way to talk through issues/, conflicts and decisions.
