Marriage Preparation Courses
You are about to enter into a marriage and you desire that this impending union is life-long and fulfilling. Knowing that a good and sustaining marriage does not just happen, you will need to put in effort and get prepared.
 
Participate in a Marriage Preparation Course to prepare yourself and your partner for the journey ahead. The duration of a course is usually between 8 and 16 hours. Both of you can expect to learn about the following interesting and enriching topics:

marriage roles and responsibilities

finance management

sexuality/intimacy

conflict management

communication with in-laws and

individual differences/family-of-origin issues
 
You may also take an optional personality test such as Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis (T-JTA), Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), PREPARE Inventory.
