ABOUT THE BOOK

​

Most people in Britain marry between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five.  This is precisely the generation most likely to be absent from our churches, therefore a marriage preparation course, provides an opportunity for mission, particular when so many non-Christians still desire to marry in church. A marriage preparation course offers the opportunity for the Church to engage in its mission of articulating the gospel, especially among those who have limited opportunity to hear it.

 

The leaders book can function as an off-the-shelf marriage preparation handbook, with everything that is needed to run a marriage preparation short course based on seven group sessions. This includes ice-breaking exercises for each session, seven talks and discussion topics, group exercises, plus suggestions for space requirements and refreshments for these sessions. The couples book provides a resource for couples to keep and provides a reminder of what they have discussed and learned for the years ahead.
