Complete two-part "A Marriage in the Lord" Marriage Prep Program in two sessions, which can be taken in any order (for example, Part II before Part I):

  • Part 1 | One-day program (Saturdays 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) at locations throughout the Diocese.
  • Part 2 | Two-hour session at various times and places.

A MARRIAGE IN THE LORD is a two part marriage preparation series. These sessions strengthen the practical skills needed for a lifelong happy, healthy and holy marriage.

Couples will:
  • Discuss positive communication skills, finances, families of origin, and ways to protect and empower their marriage.
  • Hear stories, presentations, and insights from experienced married couples.
  • Have time for private reflection and conversation throughout the day.
  • Learn the beauty of living the Catholic vision of marriage as a covenant for responsible parenthood, including a healthy option called Natural Family Planning (NFP).
  • Listen to committed Catholic couples (with a background in NFP) share scientific and medical research, personal stories, prayer 

Part I is a one-day program where you explore the relationship skills to nurture a lifelong commitment and hear presentations from experienced married couples who lead discussion on living the Sacrament of Marriage.

Part II is a two-hour session, held on a separate day, that examines the Church's teachings about the Sacrament of Marriage and responsible parenthood including a healthy option for a lifetime of love called "Natural Family Planning."

Part II can be taken before Part I.

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, all in-person marriage preparation classes have been temporarily suspended.   There is an online course that we recommend called “Living Our Faith in Love” and it covers both Part I and Part II.   Click here to access the online course:  https://greenbay.advancedministries.com/course-list/
