Marriage Preparation is essential to have a Catholic marriage and it is a great space to explore how to sustain a healthy and loving relationship.
“The complexity of today’s society and the challenges faced by the family require a greater effort on the part of the whole Christian community in preparing those who are about to be married.”
Pope Francis (Joy of Love #206)
The Archdiocese of Liverpool offers marriage preparation courses for couples planning to marry in the Catholic Church.
Each course includes four evening sessions led by trained lay facilitators.
The sessions provide time for couples to reflect on their relationship, develop communication skills, and explore the meaning of love within the context of Catholic faith.
Topics covered during the course include communication skills, conflict management, forgiveness and reconciliation, parenthood, sexuality, and the sacrament of marriage, along with much more, designed to support couples as they prepare for lifelong commitment.
