Awesome Marriage Course
Hi Neighbours and Friends,
A couple of years ago, we attended this great marriage course and I see it is back being offered again.
Fully recommend it for people thinking of getting married, for young marrieds and for older marrieds. I was a bit surprised that when I told people we were doing a marriage course that the usual response seemed to be one of shock, often followed with an "oh no, you guys having problems?" The answer was "no, we are not having problems, and I figure the way we should keep from having problems is to invest in our relationship - so we are going on this course."
Anyway, here are the details if anyone wants to go to the next one. It is koha based, and you get your own table, just the two of you - they give you a really nice dessert and a hot drink while you are there each night.
Here is the info:
Invest In Your Marriage

The whole evening is couple-private, no group work.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
