Course Goals for Engaged Couples
This online course is designed to increase your awareness of what a Catholic marriage entails: that is, the free and able consent of both parties to a lifelong, faithful, and fruitful union before God.
The course will give you opportunities to discuss these and other significant issues in the context of the Catholic Church’s teachings as you prepare for a life of married love together. It seeks to provide you with ideas that will inform and inspire you as you grow in understanding and knowledge of the vocation of marriage, and of each other. Love calls you together and to be open. True openness will strengthen your love and also your faith in God and in each other.
