Marriage Care Eastbourne
Our local centre has fully trained volunteers both for Marriage Preparation and Relationship Counselling.
Marriage Preparation courses take place three times a year at Christ the King. Courses will be held on the following dates in 2019:
2nd March, 22nd June, 26th October.
- The suggested fee for the course is £100 per couple. A reduced fee can be considered, depending on financial circumstances.
- All the materials needed for the course are provided plus a hot lunch and refreshments during the day.
- Please note that there are no facilities for children on the day of the course.
Though the vast majority of couples will benefit from attending a group course there may be occasions when the dates are unsuitable for a variety of reasons. In these cases the centre can offer an online FOCCUS course (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study) followed by personal interviews with a trained facilitator.
