“It was helpful and enjoyable!”

Him: The information in the assignments opened my eyes to many aspects of our relationship. It was eye opening to talk about the true difficulties that come in a marriage.

Her: In all honesty I thought it would just be another part of marriage prep, but I truly enjoyed going through each assignment and question with Ryan. I love that it brought so much conversation between us and helped us learn more about each other while preparing for the realities of marriage.

Both:  We feel the course will help us talk about things to each other in the event we do face the real problems once we are married.

“Everything about the course was great.”

Him: The class was a great one. It gave me an insight about marriage and the expectation of marriage based on the teaching of the church and Christ.

Both:  The course actually help to improve communication between us. This is because it was the first we had to sit together and study including discussing God related issues together. 

February 10^th Tommy and Natalie – Madison, WI
“I’ve already started applying things that I’ve learned in this course to my life!”

Him: I am really happy to have had this prep. It made me think deeply about my own relationship with God, made me think more deeply about what marriage means, and has allowed my fiancée and I to think deeply about our marriage, our commonalities and differences. 

Her: This was an important part of preparing for marriage and we would recommend it to others getting married, and feel sorry for those that don't take time to go through something like this together before getting married. It made us not take for granted how special marriage is and will forever be!

Both:  We were able to talk about God together on a more deep level than ever before, we honestly talked about any concerns or future issues, and that has left me feeling certain that getting married is the right thing to do and exactly what I want for the rest of my life!

February 3^rd Demitri and Katherine – San Francisco, CA
“This course got us thinking about marriage in every sense.”

Him: We are super glad we did this course. It was lengthy, but in a good way because it allowed us to really take our time and understand what makes a Catholic marriage different.

Her: We learned so much and now we talk about these things on a daily basis. Even though we've been engaged for several months, I feel like we only now truly understand what we're getting into, and that's a great thing.

Both:  We now talk about subjects we never really even thought of before (formation of conscience). Our conversations are much more meaningful. It's fantastic!

January 20^th Steven and Monica – Portland, OR
“We feel that we have really grown under the guidance of the course.”

Him: This program went much further in depth than I actually expected. I had heard from others that took weekend classes how easy and simplistic they were. For us, this course challenged us, gave us great insight, and the feedback was more thorough than I could've imagined.

Her: I appreciate the personal responses that were provided for us. The feedback encouraged me to take my time to reach and answer questions seriously.

December 30^th Matthew and Alexandria – Harrisburg, PA
“The course taught us new things about the faith and marriage.”

Him: I am not Catholic, but the course showed me a different side to the Church that it's not about rules & laws, but that it’s meant to be there to brings us closer to Christ.

Her: The course brought us both closer in faith & understanding on the beauty of the Catholic Church with its views on marriage.

Both: It made us more aware of the expectations of marriage that it's not just about the two of us, it's also about Christ & that he has to be in the center of the marriage. It helps us as a couple be more understanding and patient with one another when we have differing views on something!
