St Mary's Church, Billingshurst

It may seem to be stating the obvious, but your wedding is just one day – your marriage should last for the rest of your lives. So in addition to helping you with the actual wedding preparations, we also want to spend time with you discussing your expectations about marriage. Our aim is to help you both to build strong and lasting foundations for your life together.

We are planning to hold a marriage preparation course, but details are not yet firm. This would take place on a Saturday, with other couples being married at St Mary’s, when we would give you and your fiancé the opportunity to think through together possible areas of difficulty and how, as a couple, you will handle them. The topics we will cover include communication, coping with conflict and pressures on marriage (which might include money, in-laws, children and family issues). We would also give an overview of the whole concept of church wedding - Christian marriage, during which we would look more at the structure of your actual service, and the vows you will make.

Until we offer a Marriage Preparation Day, the Vicar will normally discuss these things with you.
