This course gave us the time to grow as a couple and also to ground ourselves within our faiths together. I think the most helpful part was learning how to communicate more openly about difficult topics, especially those involving family, faith, and finances. I enjoyed the moments we set aside for prayer and reflection as well—it reminded me that our relationship is rooted in something bigger than ourselves. To other couples, I’d say this course is a valuable opportunity to sit down and reflect on some important topics before you take the leap into marriage together. Life is busy and it would be hard to find the time to have these conversations later on, so sitting down and doing it now was really helpful. – Anna
Taking this course together helped us carve out intentional time to talk about topics that we might not have thought to bring up on our own or that maybe would be a little uncomfortable to bring up. It was both helpful and enjoyable to reflect on the meaning of Marriage and how our faith can help us grow stronger together. I especially appreciated the opportunity to discuss our expectations, values, and hopes for our future. I feel more prepared for our wedding day and for having a long and supportive marriage. – William
