Every relationship deserves time, care, and support. Our Marriage & Relationship Education programs offer a welcoming space to explore your strengths as a couple, understand your differences, and build skills that help your relationship thrive—now and into the future.

We use the world leading Prepare & Enrich program, built on more than 45 years of research. With the guidance of a trained facilitator, you’ll receive a personalised snapshot of your relationship and work through meaningful conversations that deepen connection, trust and understanding.

Prepare - For engaged couples

Prepare helps you build a strong foundation as you move toward marriage. Through small group sessions or individual appointments, couples explore:

  • Communication and conflict resolution
  • Family background and expectations
  • Spirituality and values
  • Finances and planning for the future
  • Intimacy and building closeness
  • Parenting and family life

These sessions create space for open conversation so you can begin married life with shared purpose.

$350 per couple.  Scheduled over a Friday evening and Saturday day, or 4 weeknight sessions.

Enrich (By Appointment) - For married or committed couples

Enrich offers couples the opportunity to reconnect, strengthen their bond and navigate life’s challenges together. Topics include:

  • Managing conflict with care
  • Forgiveness and rebuilding trust
  • Expectations and shared responsibilities
  • Intimacy, affection and emotional closeness
  • Parenting and family dynamics
  • Coping with stress, change and transitions

Enrich supports couples at any stage of their relationship.
