| What is RightStart? |
"RightStart” is designed for engaged couples and couples who are seriously contemplating spending their lives together. During their nine weekly session, participants get to know their partner on a deeper level and gain invaluable information about their relationship. Out of class assignments strengthen marriage preparation by equipping couples to ask the right questions and realistically evaluate what a future together would look like. A mentoring relationship, which is optional for non-members, enriches the experience for the participant couples by pairing them with an experienced married couple who provides them with encouragement and support. Through their participation in the RightStart Seminar, couples who go on to marry have already built a strong foundation on which to start their lives together. They are better prepared for the challenges and joys that lie ahead and look forward to marriage with excitement." |
The RightStart Program
|
The premarital program consists of three parts:
- Classroom Lectures (meets Sunday nights from 4:30 PM- 6:00 PM)
- Homework and Reading Assignments
- Four Sessions with an experienced mentor couple before marriage and three sessions during your first year of marriage.
