Pre-Marriage Course
WHAT IS THE PRE-MARRIAGE COURSE?
Twice a year we run a pre-marriage course for engaged couples preparing for marriage. Many different topics are covered in an interactive way (with time for couples to chat and process) and it is a great way to prepare for this important life stage.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
The course is open to engaged couples in Cape Town – not only those who are part of the Common Ground community. The course runs over a period of 4 Wednesday nights, all of which will be held in person at Common Ground Church Rondebosch.

Feedback From The Course
Thanks for such an excellent course which really covered so many valuable topics. I enjoyed it all so much and appreciate the time and effort you all put into it. It’s really well run from the content to the logistics and the attention to detail is appreciated. I also liked having the panel discussion which gave us great insights into how others have handled challenges in their marriages.
Absolutely fantastic! We loved it! Thank you for being so honest about your true life situations! The examples from your respective marriages were great and made us feel so relieved to realise that we are not the only couple that experience all these different relational positives and negatives.
We really enjoyed the course, and felt we learnt more than what we thought we would. The sessions were great and the interaction comfortable. We have a lot to still talk about and decide on going forward and are happy to have had these sessions as a starting point and laying of sturdy foundations in various areas that will make up our lives together.
I really enjoyed the course and I feel even though I’m not far into my spiritual journey it truly gave me the tools to deal with the day to day problems we might have. Thank you!!!
