Couples who participate in pre-marital counseling experience an increase in marital fulfillment over those who do not. Merge prepares seriously dating and engaged couples for marriage by addressing common challenges from a biblical perspective. Topics covered include communication, conflict, finances, expectations, family and in-laws, sexual intimacy, and understanding your spouse. Merge helps couples explore what marriage really means in a safe and informative environment. Often for the first time, couples get to see the practicalities of merging together two very different lives. Two sets of expectations, now merging together. Two bank accounts, now merging together. Two pairs of in-laws, now merging together. The name Merge came about because that is what marriage is: the joining together of what was previously separate.The 9 week class is offered once a year. The cost is $60 per couple and this covers the cost of materials for both of you.
Classes include:
• Large group teaching time
• Small group discussion with a trained leader couple
• Personalized learning opportunities
Merge is for couples of every age and stage of life. Whether you go to Forum, attend another church, or don't go to church at all, you are welcome to attend. If you have some weeks that you will be unable to attend, don’t let that keep you from joining in. You will be able to easily catch up with a recorded video of the class and continue on with your homework and notes of the class. We always encourage if one of you can attend, do so, and catch the other one up. Also, if you are not local, it can still work through the wonders of video conference technology!
Don’t hesitate to sign up, just do it! Merge registration closes on Sunday, January 17.
