About this course

A good pre-marital conversation series is sustained rather than crammed. This hands-on course gives you a workbook designed to be worked through over several weeks with your partner, ending with a clear set of agreements and a written summary of what you discovered. By the end of this course you will have written agreements and notes on values alignment, money expectations, family relationships, children and parenting, conflict patterns, sexual and emotional intimacy, and shared life direction, plus a list of topics flagged for ongoing attention. What you will learn: - How to set up a conversation rhythm that fits engaged-couple schedules - How to surface values without abstract discussion that goes nowhere - How to align expectations about money including spending, saving, debt, and support of family - How to discuss family-of-origin dynamics and how they will shape your home - How to surface real differences about children, parenting, and family timing - How to map your conflict patterns and design responses you both endorse - How to write a brief shared direction statement covering the next five to ten years The course is structured as a workbook. Each module covers one topic area, provides templates and discussion guides, and ends with a brief written summary that you both keep. This course is written for engaged couples who want pre-marital preparation that produces real artifacts rather than just feelings. By the end you will have replaced unspoken assumptions with documented conversations, and you will enter marriage with a clearer picture of what you have agreed to and where you still have work to do.
