Why Closer?
An 8-week, heart-centred seminar
Closer 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.
Let’s grow closer“A strong marriage doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by two people who choose each other every day.”

Our story
More than “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.

All welcome
We draw from Christian faith principles, and couples from any background are warmly welcomed.
Real couples. Real results.
We did not think that we really needed it, but we came because a friend recommended it. Now we feel that EVERYONE must do it.
This seminar was honest, relatable & presented with love. This should be compulsory for soon-to-be-married and married couples!
It was so funny. We loved the fact that Dewald & Sarah both presented the seminar together, to get good perspective from a male & female point of view.
I love the positive & inspirational atmosphere they created by combining a straight-to-the-point approach with a good sense of humour.
We loved the whole seminar, but the last session was an absolute game-changer! Thank you Dewald and Sarah for being an instrument in God’s hands!
I appreciated the fact that you don’t beat around the bush. Your communication was honest & straightforward, yet wrapped in love.
