Him: I'm really happy we took the time to do the course. It is insightful and well organized.

Nov. 3rd – Joseph and Ryan – Archdiocese of Newark, NJ “This course made me realize the importance of being more involved with our parish and community”

Her: I really am happy we took this course our instructors. Some of the questions within each course challenged us to really think both as a unit and individually, which helped us learn more about one another and facilitated conversations. On top of this, our instructors really provided insightful and personal responses to our work, which helped us learn even more.
Both: This course forced us to have a lot of conversations on important topics that we hadn't explored prior. It helped us learned a lot about one another, understand where we feel differently, and more importantly, what it will take to have a successful God-filled marriage.
