Nicky and Sila Lee’s, authors The Marriage Course, whose program runs in over 70 countries has expanded to help military families. The Army’s chief of staff says that long tours of combat are damaging Service marriages. For army couples still struggling to cope, however, help is at hand. One British army major and his wife, who live on a barracks in Paderborn, Germany, have developed a couples counselling programme “Coping with Times of Separation”, aimed at helping the many thousands of couples who face regular long periods apart. The session will be officially attached to the “The Marriage Course”, a free, eight-week programme “designed to help any married couple build a healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime”.
