Start preparing from day one of your child's life and get support through every stage—learn from someone who's helped hundreds of couples
Unlike other programs that focus only on engagement, we guide you through every stage of Catholic marriage formation
Picture this: your children watching you pray together before dinner. Seeing you forgive each other. Learning that faith isn't just Sunday church, but how you live every day. In these early years, kids absorb everything. We'll show you how to build a home where love, honesty, courage, and self-control become natural. Because the strongest marriages start in childhood homes where faith is genuine.
Your teenager comes home talking about someone they like. Are they ready for this? Do they know what to look for in a future spouse? These years are crucial. We help young people understand their purpose, make wise choices about relationships, and learn this truth: the right relationship makes you better, not worse. We'll guide them through the confusion of teenage crushes to mature, healthy dating.
Dating someone special? Thinking about engagement? This stage is about asking the big questions before making lifelong promises. Can we handle money together? Do we want the same things? Can we fight fair? We'll teach you how to date with purpose, what questions to ask, and how to know if this person is truly your match for life.
You're engaged! Now what? Wedding planning is fun, but marriage planning is essential. We go way beyond typical marriage classes. You'll learn what the church actually teaches about marriage (not just the ceremony). You'll discover what makes promises last. You'll prepare for real life after the honeymoon ends. A beautiful wedding is incredible. A strong marriage is everything.
The first years of marriage are the hardest. You're learning to live together, handle money, and maybe starting a family. It's beautiful and exhausting. We walk with you through these crucial years. You'll learn how to love when it's hard, put each other first, and build patterns that last. We teach you the small daily choices that create lifelong love. You won't navigate this alone.
You've been married for years. You've survived hard times and celebrated good ones. Now you have the wisdom that other couples need. We'll help you reflect on your journey and prepare to guide younger couples. You've learned what works and what doesn't in raising kids and staying strong together. Your experience is valuable. Let's use it to help others build lasting marriages.
For 18 years as a marriage tribunal judge, I've witnessed the same heartbreaking pattern: good people with pure intentions whose marriages failed because nobody taught them what marriage actually means.
Most problems I see started in childhood. Catholic Marriage Life exists to close these formation gaps—from building the domestic church in early years to mentoring mature couples. I'm here to prevent broken marriages, not just judge them.
