Through a visiting speaker at house group. It interested me so I went for it. It's a Charity called Explore who arrange for real married couples to go into arranged classes to answer questions about their marriage.

You get about half an hour with a class, usually sixteen year olds. Then you just answer their questions. If you do it creatively it can be quite impacting and faith always comes into it for some reason. They would have been prepared by a facilitator, also from the charity, who asks them about their fears and hopes amongst other things.

They are finding that there are scores of youngsters who don't know what marriage is, having never seen an example of it. It has taken off in Hampshire but is also in about three other counties. The schools are open to it funny enough and the teachers always give good reports of it in the sense of how the children are impacted.
