The Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago takes the complexity of marriage seriously, and we are committed to supporting couples as they work to create a fulfilling, lifelong bond together.

Six times a year, we present the Premarital Saturday Seminar, in which couples learn and practice some of the most important skills necessary to building a healthy marital relationship that will endure and grow.

The purpose of the seminar is to determine where you are in your development as a couple, build on your skills in various areas, and have the chance to talk with other couples preparing to be married at Fourth Church and elsewhere. The important areas that will be highlighted include

Marriage Expectations Personality Issues
Communication Conflict Resolution
Financial Management Family and Friends
Sexual Relationship Leisure Activities
Role Responsibility Spiritual Beliefs
Children Parenting
