This week we talk money. We explore this subject because we want to encourage couples to start talking of money early in their relationship. While money is an important subject in a romantic relationship, it is also important to pay attention to your significant other's relationship with money because some red or green flags are embedded there. As always, we would love to know your views on this subject ;)


PHAGO FAMILY Channnel: https://youtube.com/c/PhagoFamily

PRE-MARITAL COUNSELLING CLASSES: Start your marriage on a firm foundation or brush up on concepts that will help you strengthen your existing marriage. Joe & Pastor Phumzile Phago will facilitate the ten Pre-Marital Counselling sessions. Every week from 4 May 2021 for up to 2 hours per session. Zoom Online sessions on Tuesdays at 7pm or physical classes at 3C Nazarene on Sundays at 12pm. What is taught during the online session will be repeated at the physical session. You may attend either or both. Register TODAY before the class gets full.

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ATTENDING THE COUNSELLING CLASSES

  1. They are NOT FREE. The Facilitators will ensure you get your money’s worth. You will also prioritise & participate to maximise your investment.

  2. They will inspire you to think about your own marriage. Evaluate yourself on certain principles and make the necessary adjustments. It’s about practical application to your marriage.

  3. You will have opportunity to learn from other couples as they share their experiences. You are not alone.

  4. Time invested in your marriage will be rewarded in your life and your children’s lives. Do it for your children.

  5. Learn from Joe & Phumzile. Two very different people: head person vs heart person; direct to the point take it or leave it person vs loving, I feel you - you feel me person. Man vs Woman. Father vs Mother. Powerful Choleric vs Perfect Melancholy. We have been doing this for 18+ years!
