    Marriage course

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone here has ever done a marriage course - if so, which?

    Some courses you can do before getting married - talk through your family backgrounds and try to identify issues that may come up.

    Some courses you can do once married. A little like going to a Dr for a regular checkup (or like taking your car to be serviced). They (kind of force you) help you to take time out to chat with your spouse about how things are going.

    Curious as to what people have done or if they'd do it.

    PM me if you don't want to post on the common thread.

    this could be an interesting thread...

    having some idea what is going to come your way before you get to it would have scared the crap out of me

    Given my current position, I really don't think it would have made a difference anyway.

    My wife and I got married in an Anglican Church and we did their version of the marriage course. It was run out of America and was highly encompassing if not a little obtrusive. It caters from people with an IQ of 1/2 and up. It asks some obvious questions of each partner, like the expectations of the other partner in regards to being the bread winner, do you want kids and if so, how many etc etc. Might seem obvious to us, but some people need it. It can ask some quite explicit questions regarding sex, but you are allowed to answer No comment or something similar.

    I have not done the course once married as you describe, but I do know people that have been involved and haven't heard anything too scary about them.

    Cheers,
    Tom.

    Kinda seems like the point of having a relationship, to work out what you both want and to go from there.
    If you need a course to work out if you want to get married, you probably shouldn't be imho...
    Hopefully I won't have to figure it out for a little while yet

    I think i did a dis-course, cant see the point - sounds a bit wanky to me.

    Seriously, nothing will prepare you for what may lay ahead just - start off at least liking the person

    the defence force has one, they stuck me on it and the course went as far as the padre getting up and saying "In gods eyes" at which point, being an atheist, I got up and left.

    My entire hierarchy were somewhat ****ed off at the person who slated me for the course because they'd not bothered to check my religion on my service card and had slated me on "marriage guidance for Christians"
