i just came back from my first marriage prep class and it was great. my FI is catholic and i am not so i was a bit nervous about what to expect. as well i didn't know how useful it would be since my FI and i have been together for a long time. but the man running the class was hilarious and the things we discussed were really practical. i had no reason to feel weird about it at all and am looking forward to the next class. as well i find couples get so wrapped up and stressed out with their wedding planning. but the class made the realize that the wedding day itself isn't as important but the lifelong marriage is what we really should be focusing on. i actually think all couples should take a marriage prep class not just catholic couples.
