Married & Family Life
fit to be tied premarital seminar
Many couples never learn what makes a marriage successful before they get married. That’s why we offer the pre-marriage seminar “Fit to be Tied.” This ten-week seminar helps couples learn the basics of a happy, successful and fulfilling marriage. Topics include communication, conflict resolution, finances, physical intimacy, expectations, husband and wife roles and parenting.
The format for each meeting includes a short talk by the facilitator followed by smaller group discussions. Weekly projects are assigned for the couples to complete outside of the class. Attendance at this seminar is required for couples who desire to get married by an Urban Refuge pastor. For upcoming seminar dates, watch for a “Fit to be Tied” announcement in the bulletin.
SMALL GROUPS FOR COUPLES
While marriage and parenting are some of the happiest and most rewarding life experiences, they are equally intense and stressful. We want to help your family be a success. We offer a variety of small groups that are designed to meet the needs of couples. You will find support and encouragement as they get together with other couples to share the victories, joys and struggles of marriage and parenting.
marriage and FAMILY EVENTS
Many families at The Urban Refuge are eager to connect with one another just to have fun and develop new friendships. Several times a year we offer social events specifically for this purpose. These activities are a wonderful way for families that are new to The Urban Refuge to get acquainted with others. In addition to social events throughout the year, we hold annual marriage workshop weekends as a chance for our couples to grow deeper in their relationship with one another and with Christ.
