Marriage is a wonderful gift -- and an awesome responsibility. The celebration of marriage as a sacrament is not a one-time event, but a life-long vocation. God has a plan for marriage, and He wills it to be something wonderful. Marriage presents special challenges, but it can also be one of the most fulfilling experiences of being human.

This four-part marriage preparation series presents an overview of the Church’s teachings on the sacrament of marriage and how these teachings impact the practical ways in which we live out our marriage. Couples will explore four key aspects of the marital relationship— faith, communication, sexuality, and stewardship— all presented in the context of a sacramental view of marriage. Each session will include both group and couple experiences, presentations on Church teachings, and opportunities for reflection and discussion.
