February 1st, Gail and Bhakti, Mumbai, India:  “We learned to share our thoughts out loud so that the other person is aware of it.”
Him: This was a very good course which created a good discussion between me and Bhakti and helped us understand and prepare well for our marriage. The love letters were very special because it was good to share it with her.
Her:  This was very interactive and one on one session with the counselors where all our questions and doubts regarding the topics were cleared and explained. We learned to share our thoughts out loud so that other person is aware of it.
Both: We got a better understanding how our marriage will be a connection with God and church.

February 2nd, Wilburn and Michelle, Jackson, MS: “We have been together so long, going in to this course we both thought it was not going to teach us anything, we have already talked to each other about everything. We were wrong.”
Him: I enjoyed the whole marriage prep overall! I liked getting to know more about the Catholic Faith, and also the fellowship I got to share with Michelle and all the other people that helped us! I also feel like I got to know [our priest] because of this prep. I am very thankful that Catholics do this, I feel like Michelle and I are growing closer together in faith. 
Her: I learned so much more about what the catholic faith believes about marriage than I ever thought I would. I really enjoyed being enlightened and learning what is true instead of what I thought to be true.
Both: The program had us discussing issues that we have never even thought about. We have been together so long, going in to this course we both thought it was not going to teach us anything, we have already talked to each other about everything. We were wrong. I think we both were very enlightened about the contraception.

February 3rd, Colin and Brittney, Allentown, PA: “It's wonderful knowing we want the same things out of life and I can't wait to start this new chapter.”
Him: This class was great! It was nice being able to do it together rather than taking the classes separately. I liked getting to read what Brittney thinks of me and to see what her dreams are. It’s one thing to have her talk about it but it's another thing to actually see it on paper.
Her: This class was awesome! We got to discuss a lot of things that get overlooked sometimes. I didn't think I would learn that much more about Colin, but I did. It's wonderful knowing we want the same things out of life and I can't wait to start this new chapter.
Both: We just wanted to say THANK YOU for helping us through this course. We can't wait to show you pictures in September! This was a wonderful class and we enjoyed it very much!!

February 4th, Stephen and Nicole, Boston, MA: “It was great to have such experienced people on the other end to talk about marriage and the tips for success we received along the way.”
Him: It was very way more interactive than I could have ever imaged. The feedback was amazing and I felt like I had a great knowledge base from my instructors throughout the process.
Her: I learned things about God's relationship to marriage and the meaning of marriage. It was extremely informative and it has been a great start to our marriage journey. It was great to have such experienced people on the other end to talk about marriage and the tips for success we received along the way. 
Both: It has allowed us to talk in a meaningful way with God in mind. It has opened up the thought of God and the way in which we treat God in our conversations.

February 5th, Chester and Rachel, Arlington, VA: “It reminded me of the overall beauty of the faith.”
Him: It reminded me of the overall beauty of the faith.  I appreciated how the assignments didn't just encompassed "love" in marriage but looked at nearly every angle of marriage, in both practical and spiritual sense.
Her:  I appreciated the personal interaction … given by our instructors. It was nice to hear personal stories about how they can relate to each of the lessons. I also appreciate that the process was very smooth for us to take care of these classes online due to our … being a long distance couple.
Both: It was a nice opportunity to reflect on what we knew and love about the Catholic Church
