Family Life
Starting from 2015, COOS members who have completed their PMC with us will be paired up with a marriage mentor couple from the Family Life Ministry to walk them through the first year of their marriage. Where to sign up? Transforming Marriages is a marriage course based on life-giving biblical principles that make a marriage last. The course is for all married couples to learn what it takes to build strong foundations for an enjoyable, impactful and purposeful marriage which is vital for strong families. Topics Covered:Pre-Marriage Course
PMC equips couples before their marriage with a realistic perception of marriage as they walk through the course with the PMC facilitator/mentor. It also provides a platform for couples to highlight to the PMC facilitator/mentor potential issues which may arise in their marriage and thereby seek appropriate advice to cope with the issues should they be faced with the problem. PMC therefore strives to serve as a prelude to an enriching, fulfilling and growing marriage.
