Marriage and Relationship Education
Pre- & Post-Marriage & Relationship Education
CatholicCare Social Services Marriage & Relationship Education facilitates evidence-based relationship education sessions. Our programs are led by qualified, experienced adult educators with knowledge and training in relationship theories. Each program is designed to allow couples to talk privately about their strengths and discuss the challenges they may face in the future.
Couples will learn how to:
- strengthen their friendship
- build and maintain an emotional bank account
- recognise warning signs of relationship meltdowns
- understand commitment and dedication in relationships
- regulate emotions in conflict
- manage their strengths and differences.
We offer three options for couples:
Before We Say I Do
