March 13th – Matt and Taylor – Diocese of Arlington, VA “This course allowed me to renew and strengthen my connection with God through prayer and reflection”
Him: I feel like the course really highlighted every single aspect of not just marriage, but a Catholic marriage and the importance of God's presence in our lives. The course made us do a lot of reflecting and communicating which is very important for a healthy marriage, and we are overall very pleased!
Her: I love the way that it was set up so that we could complete the assignments during times that were convenient for us while also receiving such detailed, and helpful feedback and advice! The responses we received back were so helpful to go back and read to get another perspective on our answers.
Both: The course allowed us to dive deeper into topics that we may not have initially realized that we need to discuss. In other words, it allowed us to better engage in more challenging yet rewarding conversations regarding our future together that will really set the foundation of our marriage.
March 14th – Christopher and Hannah – Diocese of Camden, NJ “It made me want to start going to Church on a regular basis again”
Him: This made me think about marriage in a different lens than I had before. It made me realize the true meaning of Hannah and I being married in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
Her: This course helped Chris and I connect on a deeper level than we have before. We were able to talk through potential problems and learn the skills necessary to be successful in our marriage.
Both: We communicate much better now as a result of the course and understand what is important to each other leading up to our wedding.
March 15th – Michael and Milena – Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, TX “It gave me a better perspective as to what is truly important in marriage”
Him: My overall impression of this class was a very good one. We learned so many things that we didn't already know and were able to sit down during our own time and discuss them. It was a pleasure to get know our instructors virtually. We gleaned some great knowledge from them and look forward to implementing it in our married life together.
Her: I enjoyed taking this course with my fiancé. We both thought the different sections were insightful and helpful for our future marriage.
Both: We had gotten caught up with all the planning and this allowed us to see that God is what is most important and making Him the center of our lives is what will allow our marriage to flourish.
March 16th – Anonymous – Diocese of Allentown, PA “I learned more from this class then I did in my classes for my other sacraments”
Him: The opportunity to have some guidance of the Catholic faith and learning with and from Bridget because I didn't know much about the Catholic faith. Our instructors provided the best guidance.
Her: This class was absolutely FABULOUS!! I can't thank you enough for guiding us in the right direction. The instructor’s feedback was spot on and beyond amazing and their guidance was beyond words.
Both: This course definitely allowed us to communicate more. It was nice to be able to converse back and forth on topics (abortion, pornography) we don't often talk about.
March 17th – Nicholas and Lexandra – Archdiocese of Galveston, TX “I am a newly practicing Catholic and the breakdown from these lessons have better equipped me”
Him: Wonderful lessons that helped us gain a better understanding of God's teaching on marriage, love, man, woman, and family. Provided many tools that can help our marriage in the future.
Her: I really enjoyed the breakdown and feedback from each lesson. Although I grew up going to Catholic school, it is amazing how much I continue to learn about the Catholic faith. These lessons have been very helpful for Nicholas and I.
Both: It sparked many important conversations between us. It allowed for us to gain a better understanding of our expectations for marriage and our life together as a whole.
