Nov. 7th – Shane and Grace – Diocese of Honolulu, HI “It aligned and renewed my faith”
Him: The instructors were great and gave thought provoking responses that helped us understand and go deeper.
Her: The class has very good content. I learned a lot from it. I thought it was just a review of what I learned over the years but it was more an eye opener for me and let me validate my faith and my relationship to God and my husband/family.
Both: It made us aware of the need, and importance of communication. We are very different individuals that were raised with very different backgrounds and up-bringing, so it is something we are continuing to focus and work on.
Nov. 8th – Adrian and Madeline – Diocese of Santa Fe, NM “It was nice to be able to continue to share the common faith that we have on a deeper level.”
Him: The ability to take the course on our own time was definitely appreciated. The feedback from our mentor couple was nice and the conversations sparked were invaluable.
Her: I thought that the feedback from our instructors was incredible and working with them was a great asset. I really liked the self-paced online option.
Both: It was very apparent that the couple we worked with took time to read our answers and provide thoughtful feedback.
Nov. 9th – Anthony and Kathleen – Archdiocese of Philadelphia, PA “It helped us to learn more about each other”
Him: It was a lot more in-depth and detailed than I ever thought possible. It required me to research and think with every assignment.
Her: So many insightful activities that required us to talk about subjects that we may not have considered discussing prior to this course. I loved that it was rooted in our Catholic faith and provided us with useful and interesting resources that we can continue to use in our married life.
Both: We both very much appreciated the comments from our instructors after each section. We recognized the amount of time given by them when responding to our answers.
Nov. 10th – Julian and Haley (Civilly Married)– Diocese of Dallas, TX “The course has made me realize that I need to incorporate my faith into every aspect of my life”
Him: This class has really made my wife and I think about our future and how to work and develop our relationship not only with each other, but with God as well.
Her: The course has really made us as a couple grow stronger together. I love the conversations we have had about our future together and how we can strengthen our marriage and our relationship with God.
Both: We have started praying together more. Also, we are taking on a small challenge to pray the rosary every day until Thanksgiving just to give thanks to God.
Nov. 11th – Danny and Grace – Archdiocese of Atlanta, GA “The course gave me opportunities to read scripture, think about my relationship with Christ, and learn how to be a Godly man and husband”
Him: I've really enjoyed learning about the sacrament of marriage and what God created for us as humans to find, all to get closer to Him.
Her: I learned so much about the gift of marriage and the sacraments as a whole. My biggest takeaway was that our role as spouses is to help each other be closer to God and, simply, to help each other to get to Heaven.
Both: We are both so grateful for this course and how it has helped us prepare for marriage. Getting married in the church was a no-brainer for us, and we are so thrilled that we made this decision and have an even deeper understanding of this next chapter of our lives.
