The Marriage Course

Hay Street UMC is excited to partner with Alpha USA to offer The Marriage Course! Our first course, which concluded in September of 2024, had nineteen couples participating. We look forward to offering additional courses. We hope every couple in our congregation and community will prayerfully consider joining us for The Marriage Course. The course is designed by Nicky and Sila Lee to be relevant to any couple wanting to invest in their relationship and make it stronger. Nicky says, “The course is based on a Christian, biblical understanding of love. That love is not just about our feelings, but about action, making sacrifices for the sake of someone else, controlling our anger, being quick to listen, not burying our hurt, but talking to our partner about it, owning our faults and forgiving each other.”

You are invited to treat each session like a date night with an opportunity to converse with the person you love in ways that will enhance your life together. Each session starts with something to eat or drink followed by a video talk interspersed with times for private conversations for each couple. You will not be asked to discuss anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner.

Every couple is invited to join the course, regardless of marital status or religious faith.

In a global survey of the over 1.7 million people from 127 countries and 45 languages, who have participated in either The Marriage Course or The Pre-Marriage Course, 99% of couples reported that it had a positive impact on their relationship.

Hay Street Book Club
