Two courses, one goal…


The Marriage Course

Seven sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage.

The Pre-Marriage Course

Five sessions to help engaged couples or those exploring marriage, build strong foundations for their future together.

At Alpha we deeply value Marriages and Families, believing they are the foundation of a thriving society.

This year we are partnering with other organisations that share our heart for strengthening relationships across New Zealand.

National Marriage Week, 13-19 September 2026, is an annual invitation to pause, celebrate, and invest in the enduring strength of your relationship. Join couples across Aotearoa for a week dedicated to rekindling connection, sharing wisdom, and building a legacy of love.

Does your team have a heart for strengthening marriages and relationships?

And have considered running The Marriage or Pre-Marriage Courses for your church or community?

This one is for you…

National Relationship Survey

Thank you for completing the Relationship Survey. We sincerely appreciate your contribution and the time you have taken to share your thoughts and experiences. Your feedback is important and greatly valued, and it will help provide meaningful insights into relationships across New Zealand.

The survey results as at end of August will be released during Marriage Week New Zealand. We look forward to sharing the findings with you and celebrating the valuable perspectives and experiences contributed by participants. Stay tuned for the results and insights, and thank you again for being part of this important conversation.

The Relationship Survey is still open, so if you haven’t had a chance to complete it yet, we’d love to hear from you.

We thought our marriage was pretty great already, but even doing the first session has shown us that there are ways we can make it even better! We can’t wait for the rest of the course.
