Ministry Leader Feedback

Trusted by Couples. Helpful for Parishes.

The Marriage Group is designed to support, not replace, the local parish marriage preparation process. Couples receive a structured online course experience while parishes retain their role in discernment, pastoral guidance, and sacramental preparation.

Ministry LeaderDirect Feedback
“The Marriage Group provides excellent resources for couples preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage. In particular, Living Our Faith in Love, provides the couple with quality content that facilitates deeper conversation among the couple and with the preparing minister. It was clear to me that the couples who participated in the Living Our Faith in Love program were deeply affected by the content. So too, they very openly/warmly shared with me how grateful they were to be given the opportunity to reflect on their relationship and reflect on what God desires for their Marriage.”

Saint Raphael Parish, Bay Village

“As the Director of the Family Life Office in the Archdiocese of New York, I have happily taken advantage of The Marriage Group's online Marriage Prep programs to supplement our own Archdiocesan English and Spanish Marriage Prep programming. The Marriage Group has been extremely accommodating, and attentive to our customized needs, responding in a very timely manner. I am glad to have them helping us meet the needs of couples who come to us for online marriage preparation!”
