Nationwide Group Premarital Classes through The First Dance

Join other First Dance couples who tell us they had less stress in the months leading up to their wedding, more ability to handle the pressures, and a clearer perspective on what was going on around them.

We are constantly amazed at how we touch the real experiences of couples. Some couples who have recently gotted married find our information very helpful to give peace to what happened so they can move on from post-wedding blues.

We have a growing list of marriage educators and religious organizations using the group version of our program. The group version is by far the best way to experience what we have to offer because you share it with your peers who going through similar stresses (and joys!)

If you are part of a religious organization or participate in premarital education, let your educator or leader know about The First Dance so they can add us to their offerings. It is a stand-alone, one time 2 hour class.

Nobody in your area? Either buy our book which the class is based from OR buy the Couple DVD which is similar to the class (minus the other couples and couple excersizes.)
