The Marriage Course
|
When we meet and marry we often have big expectations and cannot imagine not wanting to be together. The long-term reality is different and, potentially far better. Can we be happily married to one person for the whole of our lives? Can we know an increasing depth of intimacy over the years? Regular check-ups help a car run smoothly and reduce the risk of breakdown. The best sports professionals spend hours being coached and perfecting their technique. The greatest achievements in life take practice, training and dedication. It is the same with marriage. A strong, loving and life-long relationship doesn't happen by chance. It takes effort and dedication to keep the fun and romance alive. We can all learn to make even the happiest marriage better. We place a high value on marriage and believe it is God's best plan. However we recognise that for various reasons you may have decided as a man and woman to live together without the formal marriage contract.
