The Catholic Church rejoices when couples decide to give themselves to each other in a loving, life-long commitment that enriches the church and the world through their marriage and family. The church wants to give engaged couples the support necessary to have the best marriage possible. Couples are encouraged therefore during this immediate preparation time to take advantage of every opportunity the church provides to help prepare them for this new phase of their spiritual journey – getting each other to heaven. Let it not be said that more time was spent on physical preparation for the one day of the wedding than the spiritual preparation for the lifetime of marriage.
Please contact your local parish and priest to start the marriage preparation process.
