Follow Up to Marriage Prep Courses

Hi Ladies,

I don't know if you remember but I posted a month or two ago asking if any of you went to marriage prep courses and if so did you like it.

Well FH and I had the course this past weekend and I was SOOO impressed. The things we learned was amazing and so beneficial. The person who held the courses is a registered therapist who specializes in marriage counselling and I totally feel like it was money well spent.

Even though we do not have any issues right now I am pretty sure his advice will come in handy down the road.

Re: Follow Up to Marriage Prep Courses

  • glad it went well. We did the catholic ones that are required and while DH and I didn't 'need' it, i thought it was a good excuse to talk about things we hadn't talked about in ages. I saw some couples who had never talked about certain issues and thought that it was a good thing for them too.

    I believe that once people get engaged it is too often only about the wedding and doing a marriage course would benefit most people. If nothing else prompt them to think long term and not just about one day.

  • Glad you found one you like! My husband and I actually teach a course at a Catholic church here in Edmonton. We love doing it and think it really does benefit the couples that attend. May I ask, though, who you did your course through? I have a friend getting married next year and from what you wrote I think that's they type of thing she's looking for.

    It was held by Dan W.H. Newell Registered Psychologist.

    The website is www.drgaryjoannmeirspyschologists.com

    They seem to hold it once a month.

  • I'm glad you had such a good experience. Our church doesn't have a set "curriculum" for marriage prep classes, and we didn't do anything special for ours.

  • Glad that it went well!  We did one also and found it to be very beneficial.  It was organized through our church, so I was very concerned that it would be very religious, but it covered practical aspects like finances, expectations of each partner, etc.
