At the heart of our work with couple relationships is our belief that good relationships don’t just happen! We know that couples who invest in their relationship are less likely to experience insurmountable difficulties down the road.

We’re here to help you make that investment. We have resources to help you work on your relationship and stay connected to your partner through both the joyful and challenging times, and everything in between.

We are currently offering:

  • Strong Foundations: peer support for couples embarking on a lifetime together.
  • Reconnect: our short-term mentoring service for couples seeking help with their relationship.
  • Time Out for Couples: events providing an opportunity for couples to invest time in their relationship.

Relationship support is not suitable for couples where there is any form of domestic abuse; it might not be safe for you to work at improving communication in your relationship. Please seek support from IDAS (tel. 0300 110 110), or the National Domestic Violence helpline (open 24 hours every day; tel. 0808 2000 247).

A Family Matters York initiative using The Marriage Sessions from Care For The Family

A series of single session events for couples to take time out to invest in their relationship, with video content, couple discussions and reflection.

“We… volunteer [as a Support Couple] because of our own experience. We think it’s rare that couples get the opportunity to…open up about the reality of our day-to-day relationships. Sometimes it’s just good to know we are not alone in what we experience and there are resources and people who are happy to give time to help us to nurture our relationships.”
