Strong Foundations: A Marriage Preparation Program for Catholic Couples (Couple's Book)

Strong Foundations is a Catholic values-based program designed to prepare you as an engaged couple for the hard work of creating a loving marriage with God at its center.

You will learn about yourself and your partner in a way few couples experience prior to marriage. In addition, you will learn the basic skills needed to handle the normal (and not-so-normal) transitions involved in marriage. Within the pages of this book, you will also find many of the issues our Catholic Bishops want you to consider before making your marriage commitment. Together we will look at your Core values as a couple; your readiness to make your marriage a genuine Choice; your need to Communicate and resolve conflicts; and the Challenges you will be facing and sharing with God s help. The practical worksheets provided here will help you look at all these issues and consider them seriously as you begin building the strong foundations that will sustain and enrich your marriage.
