Your team

The team is made up of the leaders, support couples and a taskforce.

The leaders

If the videos or DVDs are being used there will need to be at least one couple to host the evenings. If live talks are being given one or more couples will be needed to give the talks.

Support couples

It is also advisable to have another couple or couples around to help support the leaders and be available to any guests who may want to talk or pray at the end of the session. They can help to welcome guests when they arrive and also pray with the leaders before the evening starts.

Support couples will have done the course themselves, be willing to share their own experience of marriage and have a desire to help other couples.

Testimony couples

Each week a different couple is asked to speak of their experience of the course and the difference it has made to their relationship. Testimonies by couples from the course at Holy Trinity Brompton are available on a separate video or DVD as well on the video or DVD set.

Taskforce

Depending on the size of the course people may also be required to work on the ‘taskforce’. The taskforce is responsible for carrying out all the jobs such as laying out the tables and chairs, preparing the food and serving the meal, tea and coffee during the evening. We invite couples who have done the course to come back and help on the next one.

Administrator

If it is a large course you may need an administrator to register guests and to be in charge of the logistics and the smooth running of the evening.

The Marriage Book by Nicky and Sila Lee is full of practical advice and is designed for engaged and married couples.

'The Marriage Course is really good because whether there is one couple or a hundred couples it works really well. We’ve done it with one couple around a table and we’ve done it with fourteen couples. The material is so accessible, inexpensive and it’s very easy to use.'
Meg Prem
