God is love and love is from God (1 John 4:7, 16). Through faith in Jesus Christ, God gifts us with a foundation for love & marriage that lasts a lifetime. The following opportunities are available through First Methodist Houston to help provide a solid foundation & ongoing support for couples and families.

BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION (PREMARITAL WORKSHOP)

Getting married? How would you like to begin your marriage with more answers than questions? Sign up for a pre-marital workshop, Building a Solid Foundation.

This 8-hour workshop, held three times a year in January, April & September, goes over many aspects of a healthy foundation for marriage. We use the curriculum "Prepare to Last". This marriage tool will help couples create a great marriage.

Workshop topics include:

  • Marriage Expectations
  • Communication Skills
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Financial Management
  • Sex & Intimacy
  • Secret of Our Success
  • Goals & Dreams

You will complete an on-line inventory before attending the workshop. It is a great way for a couple to discover where their relationship is strong and to identify areas they want to work on to strengthen their marriage. For couples getting married at either the Downtown or Westchase Campuses, the cost of the workshop is included in the cost of the wedding. Other couples may take the class for a cost of $100.00 per couple. This includes all the materials, breakfast, lunch, and snack.

The workshops are held at the Westchase Campus, 10570 Westpark Dr. @ Sam Houston Tollway.

See details for January 23, April 24, September 25.
