Marriage Course


Cosmo and Suzi Raines have created a course called “8 Weeks to a Remarkable Marriage” and we will be teaching our debut class this fall!

Transformations you can expect from this course include learning how to:

  • Understand the needs of your spouse
  • Communicate effectively
  • Create a safe place for disagreement & growth
  • Confess and forgive
  • Stop nagging
  • Believe the best about your spouse
  • Develop transformative Love Habits
  • Build Intentional Intimacy

We will begin on Wednesday, September 25th and conclude on November 20th (with October 9th off for the Congregational Mtg.). We’ll meet at Hope Chapel (actual room is TBD) from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Childcare available.

There is a $97 charge per couple for this course. This includes live & video instruction; 2 beautiful, full-color, keepsake LoveBook journals; 2 T-shirts; and other physical and digital items to assist you in building your Remarkable Marriage. (Please do not let cost be an issue. Scholarships are available – please contact us directly for more information at suzi_deanne@hotmail.com.)

We are so excited to share this material with our family at Hope! We truly believe that what you will learn in this course will transform your marriage. We can’t wait to watch God move in our body as we make our marriages remarkable!

Here are the topics we’ll cover each week:
