Learn More About Catholic Marriage

The Sacrament of Christian Marriage expresses God’s covenant with humanity through the lifelong union of a man and woman. As their love, understanding of love, and expressions of love grow, they grow in their understanding of God’s love for us. It is a love that helps bring out the best in each other.

In order to be married in the Catholic Church, a couple needs to undergo a marriage preparation process of at least six months. The process is geared to help the couple better understand what is being asked of them prior to entering into this sacred bond. They will discuss important topics such as communication, finances, family, sex, and children, learn more about church teachings, and discern if marriage is the life God is calling them to.
