By Emma Atkins We found out about Together initially through our church. We then started leading Together groups when we joined the FamilyLife team through our role on the staff of Agapé UK.

Thriving marriages in a ‘virtual’ Together group
Rumbi and Muchada brought together a few couples they knew to be part of a Together marriage group and because people’s homes are spread around the country they decided to use technology to meet virtually.

What Matt thinks!
Naomi and I had been married for around 5 years when we began the Together course with a slightly younger, recently married couple.
