putting ideas on a flip chart

"Although we felt a little sceptical about the programme we found it very useful and it has helped us to gain sight of some issues that have been put to one side, in the background. Thank you to all the presenters, we felt very welcome and not afraid to share our views.

"Not preachey. Its a great idea – we would advise any of our friends to do it

"Everyone getting married should attend. Really makes you think about your marriage and how you want to work on it. A really wonderful session; presenters were very approachable and relaxed.

"The presenters were very helpful and have helped us to identify areas of our relationship that have gone unnoticed. Well worthwhile

"Apprehensive before we came but very comfortable once started. Non-judgemental and thought-provoking. A good time-out to consider who we are and what we want – took the focus off the “big day” and gave us more beyond

"All very positive – we particularly enjoyed the interaction and synergy between the 4 of you. Also found very helpful the examples (v honest) from your own lives and marriages. Very relevant and not at all over-bearing or preaching. Thank you

"You were all so encouraging and helpful – its been good to get view-points from couples who have been married for some years – and for both of us to hear both male and female view points. The gift was so unexpected and special

"Exercises were varied, useful, stimulating and thought-provoking. Presenters gave a very balanced view – they must have done it before because they were very smooth and never talked over each other

"Both couples were welcoming and really made us feel relaxed. It was EXTREMELY informative and really related to us and how we will move on with our life together by using these new skills. This course is a brilliant idea and we would recommend it to all couples who are seeking to confirm their commitment to each other by marriage. Thank you for the two most informative days

"Course was well structured and not too heavy-going. It has confirmed our suitability for each other

"Overall very good – a good balance of practical and theory, very well presented in a jolly, easy-going approach

"The tone and delivery was just right – the presenters’ personal anecdotes of their own experiences helped perfectly. We felt very relaxed and able to talk openly and honestly with each other and to others.
