Welcome to the School of Relationships & Marriage
We are Ulbe and Marleen Tolner and it is great that we can lead this school. We have been married for 36 years and we regularly give relationship coaching and training sessions. Through the years we have seen that many relationship problems have their origin in the family of origin. This often has such a great impact on any kind of relationship, that we want to give a lot of attention to it. |

The school now consists of two parts.
RELATIONSHIPS & MARRIAGE
PART 1. Relationships - STARTING 19 Sept 2022
We start with a class on relationships. After all, we are all born of a mother and start our lives in a place. Already at the start of our lives we have two important relationships. Throughout your life you build relationships with many people. Sometimes for a long time, sometimes for a short time. But a lot of things don't go well with relationships either.
We grow up in families that are not perfect, although they (usually) have our best interests at heart. This damages us consciously and unconsciously and has an effect on our relationships with all those other people around us.
It is therefore very important to know what our Creator had in mind when He created mankind. What effect does the family in which we grew up have on us and how can we take the good with us and recover from what was not good, so that we are able to have healthy relationships ourselves.
Topics we adress
Topics include: How did God intend it? Difference between Man and Woman. The different family styles, codependency, communication and dating.
For whom is this class
So, if you want to get more depth in yourself and in your relationships, with anyone, then this is the class for you to take. This class is best taken together with your partner, but you can also take it on your own.
When do we start
We start on Monday 19 September with the first online class. Total duration is 10 weeks with 1 lesson per week.
What are the costs
Because this is the first time we are giving this class, we will keep the costs low: €50, or $50 or 500 RAND
PART 2. Marriage - Starting February 2023
The second class continues where the previous one ended. We will continue with the form of relationship that has existed longest of all: marriage.
We will look at the how, what and why of marriage. Even among Christians there is often a lack of knowledge about the deeper meaning of marriage. About why God considers marriage so important. About the value of marriage for you, your partner and for your children. And is marriage a contract or a covenant?
Practical:
But apart from the more theoretical side, we are also going to make it practical. After all, being married is a verb. You will be given tools so that you can learn to communicate better, so that you really feel heard and understood. And how you can better deal with conflicts, so that they do not end in a kind of war. And also various other fun and interesting topics.
For whom is this class
If you want more enrichment in your marriage then this is a must. This class is for anyone who is married or has marriage plans. You take this class together.
When do we start with Part 2 ?
This class will probably start at the beginning of February 2023. So keep a close eye on the website.
