The journey to a strong, faith-filled Catholic marriage begins with proper preparation. Many engaged
couples often only receive brief marriage prep covering a few discussion topics packed into a day or
weekend. This leaves them unprepared and with more questions about their marital duties and spiritual
direction than before.
At Catholic Marriage Prep, our online marriage preparation course is designed to offer comprehensive
and accessible support to each engaged couple directly from a matched mentor couple.
Each mentor couple is fully formed and meets our requirements to ensure they are the best fit to help prepare engaged couples for marriage.
Personalized Guidance
Our mentor couples provide one-on-one personalized support that addresses each engaged couple’s needs and concerns. Their personal marriage experiences allow them to offer practical, relatable guidance from a Catholic perspective.
Emotional and Spiritual Support
Due to the unique requirements for our mentor couples and the diverse topics covered in Catholic Marriage Prep, they can offer invaluable invaluable emotional and spiritual support. As a result, our engaged couples receive the help they need to navigate challenges and deepen their faith.
Relatable Experiences
Being paired with a mentor couple with similar background – such as military, longlong-distance,convalidation, or interfaith—has made marriage preparation more meaningful and effective for our engaged couples.
Matching Sponsor Couples with Engaged Couples
We do our best to carefully pair engaged couples with mentor couples with similar backgrounds and experiences. This personalized matching process ensures a more relatable and effective mentoring relationship.
Formation and Certification of Mentor Couples
Mentor couples undergo thorough training and certification to ensure they are well-prepared to mentor
our engaged couples. Our Instructor Training Program – rooted in Holy Scripture, Theology of the Body, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church—equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to guide them.
Benefits of Having a Mentor Couple
Engaged couples can enrich their learning experience by working one-on-one with paired mentor couples. They can gain invaluable insights and practical advice from those who have successfully navigated their marital journey.
Mentor couples can help build solid foundations for Catholic marriages by addressing real-life issues and
providing practical solutions for life and faith. As a result, this sets our engaged couples up for long-term
success.
