To help you start out we have put together a Starter Kit comprising of the Course DVD set, Leaders Toolkit, the Leaders Guide, 6 Guest manuals and a copy of The Marriage Book with an RRP of $270. 
- Attend The Marriage Course yourselves. Go to find a course to find your nearest course. If there isn’t one near you, we recommend you do the course in a home with two or three other couples using the DVDs.
- Purchase the necessary resources, see full list of what is available under resources on this web site, from your local Christian bookshop or directly from our online store at Koorong (our distributors).
- Watch the ‘Leaders’ Training video’ in the Leaders’ Toolkit for The Marriage Course and re-read the Leaders' Guide that was in with the course's DVD set. Also check whether there are any meetings/events listed under ‘Training & Events'.
- Find a counsellor in your area to whom you can refer couples if they need additional help. Details are available on this website under ‘Counselling’.
- Set a date and advertise your course - the Leaders’ Toolkit contains a section on ideas for promoting the course. Make sure you have the support of your church leaders and congregation. Build a team of volunteers to help you. If the course is large you may need people to help with setting up, cooking, serving and clearing.
- Find a suitable venue. This may be a home if your course is small, or you may need a larger venue - perhaps a church, a community hall, a hotel, a café after hours - anywhere that you can serve a meal and create a great atmosphere.
- Decide on what to charge your guests based on the cost of the food, manuals and venue.
- Register your course online under register your course. This will allow us to put you in touch with couples looking for a course in your area.
- Contact your local Marriage Course Advisers. These are couples with experience of running the course who help other leaders with advice and support. Their details are listed on this website under ‘Marriage Advisers’.
