Vienna Presbyterian Church

Marriage Preparation Program

At Vienna Presbyterian Church, we take our role in your marriage very seriously, as you entrust us with the worship service and the preparation for marriage.  To help prepare you for the rest of your life (beyond the big day!), we require your participation in our Marriage Preparation Program, which includes these three segments:

• Marriage Preparation Classes
  The Marriage Preparation Classes meet:
  • Four Sunday mornings from 11:00 am - 12:15 pm in the Parlor, and
  • Two Saturday mornings (within the month) from 8:45 am - 12:15 pm.

  The topics discussed during Sunday morning sessions are “Covenant vs. Contract” (Biblical Principles for Marriage), “Oh, my gosh! I’ve got In-laws – and I’m one, too!” (Families of Origin), “Why Can’t You Be More Like Me?” (Temperament Types), and “The BIG DAY is Over – NOW WHAT?” (Goals & Expectations for Life Together).  The topics discussed during Saturday morning sessions are Marriage & Money and Conflict Resolution.

  The sessions are free and are required for those being married by our pastors.

  Register for the Marriage Preparation Classes using the online registration form, or call Linda Kemple at 703-938-9050 x100.

  Schedule of upcoming classes (see Note¹):

Note¹ -- Please understand that a minimum of three couples is needed to constitute a class, so the offering of seminars is contingent upon the number who enroll.  Please make your date preference known early so that you are not disappointed.

• Meeting with a Counselor
  One (free) session with a counselor is a part of the VPC marriage preparation program.

• Meeting with Officiating Pastor
  The meeting with the officiating Pastor from VPC, to plan the service, is scheduled individually.
