Marriage Prep Program Goals for Engaged Couples Experience the welcome of the Church community. Understand the teaching of the Church about marriage and family life. Learn some skills of communication & conflict resolution. Reflect on where they have come from, where they hope to go

Partner with Married Volunteers Plan meaningful and fun preparation programs Choose a program style ◦ One-on-One Sponsors ◦ Small Group Sessions ◦ Large Group Pre-Cana ◦ Engaged Encounter model Combine styles for optimum impact!

Explore the 5 C’s of Marriage Prep Commitment Communication Conflict Resolution Children Church Engaged couples identified these topics as most helpful.

Couples Appreciate Marriage Preparation Marriage preparation was seen as helpful through the first 5 years after the wedding. Wedding Mass & Celebrations are teachable moments (Don’t forget the wedding parties!)

Beyond Prep: More ways to assist engaged & married couples Hospitality at registration Engagement rituals Mentor couples Provide new couples with resources and personal assistance as they develop a pattern of prayer Prayer cards for wedding day

If you were a newly married couple in your parish, would there be opportunities: to connect with other young couples? to be mentored by an older couple in a strong marriage? to serve together in a parish liturgical, catechetical or social ministry?

The wedding was great! Invite me to the marriage. -God
