We found the “Mr & Mrs Quiz” very interesting and we were happy to discover the we actually know each other quite well after 11 years together and we both scored 18 points.
The workbook questions were very beneficial and it enabled us to open up about questions that were difficult to approach otherwise.
The online course was probably more beneficial to us as we may not have been as open an honest in a group setting.
The videos were very informative. We especially appreciated the advice on how to communicate more effectively and respectfully to each other and not to misinterpret what the other person is saying.
Overall, the program was very beneficial and made us feel more confident and realistic in what to expect in our relationship. It was also great to realise that other people have come across the same challenges as we have as a couple.

We took a lot from the course and it made us really sit down and talk about some things we haven't ever discussed, ie how we handle conflict and also the influence of our parents' relationships on how we conduct our own.
It was particularly interesting to learn what "every day things" are important to us, ie domestic chores and sharing the workload at home.
We have learned that we need to work on our communication skills and not to push things under the carpet as they usually rear their heads at some point and in our relationship, this often results in resentment and confrontation.
We also realise that marriage will not ultimately change us, but it will be a contract between us to value each other and hopefully allow us to prioritise each other.
We are actually doing another course in Brighton in a few weeks in order to satisfy our priest's request, so it will be interesting to see if anything different crops up!
Many thanks!
