Widely accepted and promoted throughout the Catholic Church

Our courses are trusted by Catholic parishes and dioceses around the world. Each year, thousands of couples rely on the most comprehensive, convenient, and popular online programs to meet the requirements for marriage preparation in the Catholic Church.

If you or your priest have any questions about the program, please let us know. We regularly speak with priests on couples’ behalf, letting them know how the program works and how they fit into the process.

Ultimately, your priest or deacon makes the decision for which marriage preparation programs are permitted for couples they work with. Chances are, he is already familiar with this program. If not, here are some details you can share:

Imprimatur

The course was granted an Imprimatur in 2011 by the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Chicago (more details below), providing absolute assurance that this program’s contents are in line with Catholic teaching.

Collaborative Development

The program was developed in collaboration with the Marriage and Family Ministries Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago as well as the Office for Family Ministries at the Archdiocese of Detroit for use by couples everywhere.

Endorsements

Featured as a marriage preparation resource on the foryourmarriage.org website, an initiative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, this program is endorsed by many priests, deacons, and ministry teams.
