How Does the Online Marriage Prep Course Work?
I came around the corner from the hallway into the kitchen and was presented with the sight of my eleven-year-old daughter going to-and-fro with pots of water boiling, cooking materials everywhere, and headphones on her ears. My wife had taken our youngest son to yet another therapy session (being a Special Needs Mom is tough), the other kids were nowhere to be seen, and I had just come off a long day of work.
A few weeks ago, we discussed marriage as a partnership like you’d find in an adventure movie. Today, we need to look at partnership from a slightly different angle.
Yes, our differences can cause conflict or complementarity. They can push us apart or join us together. The reality, though, is this only works when both partners do three, specific things very consistently.
Leo: “Mom, I’m done with Math!”
Me: “Leo, that’s great! Where is it so I can correct it to see how you did?”
Leo: “I ripped it into a bunch of pieces and threw it in the garbage!” (Followed by a hearty and mischievous laugh!)
Parents pass along all kinds of lessons to their kids. We teach manners, habits, life skills, and more. We want our kids to have every advantage and to start where we are, instead of where we were at their age.
My nine-year-old son was in flag football this year. At his first practice, one of the other kids was so nervous he cried. Several of the boys threw further than I could. My son was somewhere in the middle. I was so relieved that I hadn’t messed him up beyond hope!
In our mission statement at CatholicMarriagePrep.com we say: “Agape Catholic Marriage Preparation invites couples to a deeper relationship with each other and with Christ, one couple at a time. Online, on-demand instruction rooted in Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, combined with personalized mentoring from a trained married couple, builds a foundation for a strong, healthy, Christ-centered marriage between a man and a woman.” Who does that best serve? From the very inception of CatholicMarriagePrep.com serving military couples has always been on our hearts, even offering a military discount.
Wow!!! Yes, that is the correct word to begin this blog post! I think I am still in shock! On the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus our country just experienced the overturning of an almost 50-year-old law regarding abortion. Roe vs. Wade was overturned!
