WHAT ABOUT MARRIAGE is a programme aimed at senior secondary students and can be conducted over two 3 hour sessions or alternatively as a full day seminar. Programmes can be negotiated to meet the needs of individual schools.
First session:
Stepping Stones to a Happy Marriage aims to assist students to value their gift of sexuality and lead them to an awareness that chastity both before and during marriage is a cornerstone to a lasting relationship.
Second session:
Creating Family aims to raise an awareness of the need for knowledge and protection of the gift of fertility. Medical presentations are followed by discussion on the philosophy behind the Billings Ovulation Method of natural family planning as a "Relationship Method" and a "Healthy Alternative". An optional private interview session for students is available.

These programmes give students a unique opportunity to discuss the important area of sexuality at a decisive time in their lives with a caring and empathetic adult who is anonymous to them. Student evaluations indicate that the vast majority appreciate this opportunity.
