Welcome To Marriage Care

We offer Relationship Counselling, Marriage Preparation
and more, online and in-person near you!

We are a Catholic charity specialising in supporting couples to build and sustain healthy marriages and strong relationships. Whether you are facing challenges, seeking guidance, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, we provide compassionate support tailored to your needs.

Why does this matter?

We believe healthy relationships lead to happier lives, stronger families, and more resilient communities. Married or not, of faith or none, we’re here to help you navigate relationship difficulties and create a stronger, more fulfilling partnership — whatever your circumstances.

Relationship Counselling

Looking for professional relationship counselling in the UK? Marriage Care offers compassionate, affordable support for couples and individuals who want to strengthen, repair, or better understand their relationships. Whether you’re married, living together, or in a long-term partnership, our trained counsellors provide a safe and supportive space to talk through challenges.

We understand that every relationship faces ups and downs. Communication can break down, conflicts may grow, or you might simply feel distant from one another. Through couples counselling and individual sessions, Marriage Care helps you work through difficulties, rebuild trust, and improve understanding.

Our services are accessible online or face-to-face at local centres across the UK. Sessions are affordable, with flexible fees so no one is turned away for financial reasons.

With over 70 years of experience, Marriage Care is a trusted charity dedicated to helping people build stronger, healthier relationships. Whether you need help with ongoing issues, want support to move forward, or are preparing for marriage, we’re here for you.

Marriage Preparation

Planning a wedding is exciting, but preparing for married life together is just as important. Marriage Care offers supportive, engaging marriage preparation courses across the UK to help couples build strong, lasting relationships from the very start.

Our marriage preparation sessions are open to all couples, whether you’re marrying in a church, having a civil ceremony, or planning a non-religious celebration. Through friendly discussions and practical exercises, you’ll have the chance to explore topics like communication, managing conflict, shared values, and future hopes.

Marriage Care’s courses are designed to be welcoming and relaxed, giving you a safe space to talk honestly about your relationship. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of each other and the tools to navigate married life with confidence.

We offer a range of options, from group sessions to tailored one-to-one programmes, both online and face-to-face. Many courses are approved by the Catholic Church, making them ideal if you’re planning a Catholic wedding, but they are equally valuable for couples of any faith or none.

With decades of experience, Marriage Care is a trusted charity helping couples invest in their future together. If you want more than just a wedding day and are ready to build a strong foundation for lifelong partnership, our marriage preparation courses are the perfect first step.
