July 11^th Timothy and Allison- Metairie, LA “We honestly feel closer than we ever thought possible”

Him: I was very impressed with how much the program got us into a deep conversation amongst each other. It encouraged us to communicate very well.
Her: I thought it was great and really helped to prepare us for our future together and within the Catholic Church.
Both: We had some hurt feelings from years ago that we didn't realize we held onto until the forgiveness section. We were able to let it go after discussing our feelings with each other. We honestly feel closer than we ever thought possible! We thank our instructors wholeheartedly for their guidance and the time it took to lead us. We will keep y'all in our prayers.

July 12^th William and Betsy- Westphalia, MI  “I liked the concept of doing this prep online because we could complete it in our free time.”

Him: I thought it was helpful especially when it comes to communication in marriage. It gave a great overview of Bible verses that are important to study for marriage. It encouraged me to look even deeper into the Bible.
Her: I liked the concept of doing this prep online because we could complete it in our free time. I thought it was helpful and gave us a great opportunity to discuss a lot of things. It revived my faith because it provided many ways for us to grow even more together in the Lord and stressed that we need to take time together with the Lord in our marriage through prayer.
Both: The prep course provided us with a great opportunity to communicate about the questions that were asked. It really got us talking about important things. 

July 13^th Michael and Elizabeth- Sand Springs, OK “The course really helped me understand the sacrament of marriage on a deeper level.”

Him: I enjoyed the prep very much. It allowed me to look deeper into my relationship with Liz. It acknowledged and reiterated our love for each other through Christ. I also learned a lot of our faith's background stances on love and marriage.
Her: I think it was a great course -very intensive and focused on scriptures. I liked that we were able to complete this course at our own pace and really got to take time in a private setting to go through the lessons together. Since I'm still in the beginning stages of my faith journey, the course really helped me understand the sacrament of marriage on a deeper level.
Both: It brought to light the different positive effects communication has in our relationship. It brought up topics that we may not have ever considered discussing unless they actually came up in reality.

July 14^th Juan and Casey- San Antonio, TX  “It made me see the Catholic religion in a whole different way.”

Him: Very impressed! I learned so much. It made me feel a lot closer to my fiancé.
Her: I really learned a lot from this course.  It made me see the Catholic religion in a whole different way.
Both: We plan to go to church together every Sunday now.

July 15^th Michael and Brittney – Kingsley, IA “Once everything was broken down and explained better it definitely made me want to go to church more”

Him: It was very informational, even though I grew up Catholic I stilled learned a lot!
Her: Not being baptized or being an official member of any specific church this was very interesting, I was taught a lot of things that I have always questioned growing up, and it was a very fun experience for us to do together as a couple and talk things over. Once everything was broken down and explained better it definitely made me want to go to church more because now I have a better idea of what’s going on.
Both: We both knew that the other spouse believed in God, but we never really sat down and talked about our faith or how to participate in it together and why Catholics believe the things they do. It just opened another path for us to discuss and become closer. We really enjoyed this class!!
