MARRIAGE COURSE It has been said that “A successful Marriage requires falling in love many times but always with the same person”. In CFC we believe in marriage and want couples to have a healthy and happy relationship where they can grow and become all that God intended them to be. To help this we run a Marriage Course which aims, among other things, to help couples in how they communicate, do conflict and handle family issues. The next course begins on Thursday 2 February 2017 so this gives you plenty of notice to get it in your diary and organise babysitters!
