Together Forever

GROUP COURSE

Offered on weekends, this course explores evidence-based knowledge and skills for building healthy relationships. Oriented towards couples in their mid-twenties to thirties, this course is an opportunity to focus on your relationship in a structured way, and to gain a better appreciation of areas for growth.

Couples who participate in one of our pre-marriage education programs are automatically enrolled in our Together in Harmony marriage enrichment program. This half-day program is for couples in the first two years of marriage. Together in Harmony is based on research about what couples tend to argue about most in the first five years of marriage. For couples further into married life we offer the individual couple marriage enrichment program; REFOCCUS. This program uses an online inventory that explores a range of areas in your marriage and highlights areas for strength and growth. Two follow-up sessions with a marriage educator give you an opportunity to explore these areas. Each session is two hours long allowing you as a couple to dive deep into important growth areas for your relationship. We generally recommended couples do these sessions a week apart. It gives you a chance to explore a range of ideas deeply as they apply to your relationship. Feedback from our programs is excellent; marriage enrichment is a great way to continue growing and deepening your marriage. To find out more please telephone (08) 9241 5000. Many couples who have strong healthy relationships can also benefit from counselling as a way to continue growing in love and exploring and developing new aspects of their relationship. Our counselling services are currently priced at $100 per hour. However, this can be negotiated in cases of financial hardship. For more information, contact us on (08) 9241 5000.

Couples who participate in one of our pre-marriage education programs are automatically enrolled in our Together in Harmony program. This half-day program is for couples in the first two years of marriage. Together in Harmony is based on research about what couples tend to argue about most in the first five years of marriage. This course also covers areas such as goal setting, keeping romance alive, and the marriage relationship cycle. Couples how have participated in one of our pre-marriage programs will be automatically notified about Together in Harmony one year after their pre-marriage education program.

Couples who are in the first two years of marriage and who haven’t previously attended one of our pre-marriage education programs are welcome to attend this course can do so by contacting our office on (08) 9278 0253.

It’s normal for couples to struggle with issues from time-to-time. Sometime these challenges come from within the marriage, and occasionally challenges come from outside that test the relationship. Recognising these relationship challenges or marital issues and seeking help when we are struggling is always a sign of strength. A good relationship counsellor can help with many issues that couples face. Many couples find our confidential services helpful. Rather than taking sides, our counsellors work in a way that seeks to support the marriage. You can book in for our counselling services here.

“Knowing that marriage and the family constitute one of the most precious of human values, the Church wishes to speak and offer her help to those who are already aware of the value of marriage and the family and seek to live it faithfully, to those who are uncertain and anxious and searching for the truth, and to those who are unjustly impeded from living freely their family lives. Supporting the first, illuminating the second and assisting the others, the Church offers her services to every person who wonders about the destiny of marriage and the family.”

Familiaris Consortio, Pope Saint John Paul II
