Marriage Courses
It is sixteen years or so that Sue and I have led
Marriage courses at our church for those soon to be wed.
The couples who attend them may be a little wary.
Perhaps, before they get there, they really seem quite
scary!
We send out to invite them and some will not reply
We ring and text and e-mail we really, really try!
Those who are persuaded come slowly through the door
The prospective bridegrooms wish they could sink through the
floor!
It isn’t very long before we put them at their ease
They discover we don’t lecture them. We’re more inclined to
tease!
We tell them little anecdotes and offer favourite tips
Set them doing exercises and watch some film clips.
We have a lot of fun with them and let them recognise
That facing life in partnership is very, very wise.
They will have their ups and downs but if they work together
They can face with confidence both fair and stormy weather!
The funny thing about this work is, that the more you do.
You learn more from the couples than they ever learn from
you!
After every session Sue and I can clearly see
Things we never thought about concerning her and me!
So thank You, Lord for giving us the chance to do this work
And may it be a pleasure that we will never shirk!
