Lenten Greetings!

You may or may not have noticed that this has been Marriage Week. And the internet has been awash with a plethora of ideas to boost one’s marriage and the marriages of others.

Bravo to the US Bishops in particular for their innovative “What have you done for your marriage?” quiz and other digital ideas.

I was recently introduced to the acronym “KPI” which stands for ‘key person of influence.’

Carolyn and TJ: I appreciated that the course started with the story of Adam and Eve and helped me form a foundation for understanding the relationship between man, woman, and God.

Kyle and Allison, military couple: "A good way for us to have focused and meaningful discussions..."

The opposite of love, said Pope St John Paul II, is not hate, but indifference or to use somebody.

Dear Instructors,

Before we go in and fill out the feedback we would like to take a minute to thank you both. Not only have you helped us through this process for the Church but you have made us so much stronger as a couple.

By John and Lori

We appreciated your genuine caring and desire for us to be a holy couple!

John: I appreciated the fact that the material was grounded in Scripture, and the Magisterium of the Church. I have a Master's in Theology, so I have studied 'about' marriage and the Sacraments before, but I never prepared to receive the Sacrament myself. By covering a range of material, from creation to in vitro fertilization, in a holistic organic way, you helped me to better understand and appreciate the Church's unbroken Tradition in a new way.

By Mark and Samantha

It opened up a whole new world for us.
We've gone to church together but never
gone this in depth with each other about what we thought.

From D. and J.

It is really awesome that you guys take the time to help couples like us! You are truly a blessing!

From I. and K.

The class was fantastic and actually surprised me how fun many of the exercises were. I thought that maybe the class would be a review of what I learned throughout Catholic school growing up, but I learned a lot of information concerning marriage and also learned different techniques on how to
maintain a healthy and strong marriage.
