There is a profound moment in the traditional wedding vows where the seriousness of the occasion is magnified. The minister looks at the couple, and the witnesses, and reminds them and the wider audience that the Apostle Paul compared marriage to the union between Christ and His Church. It is a sobering, beautiful reminder: marriage is not a whimsical bond. It is a relationship entered into only after prayerful thought and reverent consideration.
In a world of “Marriage at First Sight” and “disposable” connections, something in us instinctively feels that a life-long union deserves more than a snap decision. Marriage is not a social experiment; it is a sacred landscape.
This resource has been put together as part of our marriage week celebration . It is meant to be used as a couples activity. Take time out of your schedule and enjoy doing the sessions together and learn more about each other and also your relationship.
We believe building a stronger connection is vital to any relationship. So we hope you find this information helpful and it enhances your marriage relationship as you engage with it.
Join us from midday in Haskins’ Private Room, hired for our sole use and where teas and coffees will be provided by us. Then purchase your own lunch from the Restaurant and come to eat and sit together. We appreciate that lunches will be staggered depending on the time you arrive but we aim for all to have eaten by 1.30 so we can enjoy our talk.
