Premarital & Newlywed Course

Service Description

This is a practical, frank, fun & educational group course for engaged and newlywed Christian couples. The course includes six 90-minute online group sessions, each consisting of 60 minutes of guided teaching followed by 30 minutes of group discussion and live Q&A. One of the sessions will be exclusive to the grooms/husbands & one to the brides/wives. Participants' privacy is maintained. Participants communicate/ask questions during class via chat or audio. Class size is limited to ten couples/20 persons. Price listed is per couple, not individual. Participants will learn the essential components of a healthy, emotionally connected, and passionate marriage relationship. Topics include: • an introduction to male and female sexual psychology and how it influences sexual attitudes and behaviors, expectations, dynamics, etc. • how male/female physiological differences can both challenge and enhance the relationship, and how to manage incompatibilities that may arise • Developing calm, effective, & non-defensive communication skills for navigating difficult conversations or conflict with honesty & respect. • learning how to navigate inhibitions, fears, expectations, mismatched sexual desires, differences in libido, & misunderstandings that often arise within married sexual relationships. • thoughtfully addressing differences in religious interpretations of sexual morals and values, while examining common religious and cultural misconceptions that may unintentionally interfere with sexual compatibility and fulfillment • the approaches and practical skills that wives wish their husbands would apply in & outside of the bedroom (grooms' session only) • the practical skills and mindset that husbands long for their wives to adopt in and outside of the bedroom (brides' session only) Participants are offered a values-aligned and gospel-aligned framework that supports both emotional closeness and mutually satisfying sexual intimacy within marriage. Note to Parents: Many young Christian couples begin marriage deeply committed to one another but without practical guidance on building a fulfilling, mutually satisfying intimate relationship. Sometimes, well-meaning parents offer last-minute advice that is tainted by their own angst. This course offers couples the sound preparation many of us wish we had received, helping them start married life with understanding, confidence, and a strong foundation for lasting connection, love, and bonding.
