CoursesGet Ready for Married Life – For Men
Suggested Donation: $ 27.00We Believe
We believe that in ISKCON the only way to stable, successful marriages is to learn and follow Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. We believe that young men and women, before even thinking, “Who will be my husband” “Who will be my wife” should deeply consider their motivations and their readiness. We believe that before getting married, all devotees should go through training; as Srila Prabhupada said: “Both the girls and the boys should be trained up. Then they’ll be responsible husband and wife and live peacefully.” (Room Conversation Nouvelle Mayapur, France, 3 August 1976)
This course helps to…
- Prepare by hearing from Srila Prabhupada
- Gain from the insights and experience of many senior devotees
- Reflect and meditate on your future
- Prevent common mistakes
- Learn how to choose your life-partner
Smooth Sailing
Marriage is like a boat to cross the sea of youth. As you are thinking of getting married, you want to prepare for smooth sailing; you want to learn how to make the right choices and work towards a successful marriage.
IMPORTANT: This course will be very useful to you even if you are already in a relation (or if you are already married and you wish to understand things better).
