2. Marriage Preparation Workshop - PREP 

Date: Ongoing

A wedding is only the first step of a marriage. To help couples build a strong foundation and prepare them on the life journey ahead, FFL has teamed up with partners to offer online marriage preparation workshops that cover a range of topics from communication and conflict resolution to problem solving in a marital relationship and financial planning for couples:

Prevention and Relationship Education Programme (PREP): an evidence-based marriage and relationship education programme. It is designed based on over 30 years of research in US that aims to help couples to:

1. Improve communication and problem-solving skills.
2. Attain higher relationship satisfaction; and
3. Develop better conflict resolution skills

This workshop is conducted over the weekend (i.e., 2 x-hour sessions over 2 days) and is suitable for couples preparing to get married or have been married for less than 2 years.

More couple workshops are also available at https://go.gov.sg/marriageprep, where rebates are provided by the Ministry of Social and Family Development on selected programmes.

3. Wide-Ranging Online Content

Date: Available mid-March onwards

• “I Still Do” video

To inspire and address marriage concerns raised by couples, FFL will be launching an online video featuring couples who recently tied the knot in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tune in to their candid sharing about why they decided to go ahead and how they planned a memorable wedding.

• Curated online articles

Couples can also look forward to marriage-related articles relevant in this pandemic season. Look out for innovative and creative ways to have a memorable wedding celebration despite trying times and pick up tips on rediscovering the romance in marriages to keep the spark alive in relationships.
