Should you bother attending a Pre-marriage Course,
if you are not getting married in Church?
Even for couples who opt for a purely civil wedding,
taking a pre-marriage course really is worthwhile.
Assuming that you intend your marriage to last for your whole lifetime,
the kind of communication discussed in a typical pre-marriage course
is worthy
of
thoughtful attention, before tying the knot, even civilly.
Most of the content of our own day-long course
is therefore equally relevant for all engaged couples.
Even in the section about marriage in the church,
you could find some ideas
about inspirational texts
for building into your civil wedding ceremony.
