CLOSER Marriage Seminar

Why Closer?

Closer is an 8-week, heart-centered seminar that helps couples rediscover the joy of doing life together. You’ll receive real, practical tools to strengthen communication, build emotional intimacy, and reignite passion.

Presented by Dewald & Sarah, Closer offers both male and female insight into the rhythms and realities of married life. With authenticity, humour, and vulnerability, they create a space where both spouses feel seen, heard, and supported.

Marriage is more than just “happily ever after”

Marriage is a beautiful gift, full of joy, laughter, growth… and let’s be honest, hard work too.

Over time, it’s easy to fall into routines, drift apart, or simply feel like roommates. Whether you’ve been married for 6 months or 30 years, every marriage needs intentional moments to reconnect.

That’s why we created Closer.

So far, over 300 couples have taken this journey, and the results speak for itself.

On average, couples rated themselves 5 out of 10 for marital satisfaction before attending our seminar and 9 out of 10 after attending our seminar.

This is more than just a seminar, it’s an opportunity to grow closer emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
