Topics treated include: marriage as an institution ordained by God, types of marriage, spousal responsibilities, pre-marital sex and factors leading to divorce in contemporary times.

Some participants expressed their gratitude to the church for the new insights which they felt will impact positively on their personal marriage lives as well as help guide others.
