Some dioceses have approved the use of on-line material as part of marriage preparation.

The duties and responsibilities of a Christian marriage are serious and numerous. Although you may be madly in love, no couple should mistakenly rush into marriage without a knowledgeable understanding and appreciation of God's design for your married life together.

Our Catholic Church understands the permanent commitment you are about to make and offers her loving support and guidance to help you in your journey. To provide this assistance the Church requires every engaged couple to participate in some form of church sanctioned marriage preparation instruction prior to their marriage
.
Marriage Preparation courses are a guide to understanding the academic Christian theology of marriage. Discussions centre on issues pertaining to married life, sex, contraception, children, religious beliefs, communication and much more. Time spent in this spiritual preparation and the lively discussions needed between each other during the program, can be the greatest gift you can give to your marriage.

When requiring these courses, the Church understands that each couple's circumstances and needs are unique, so she has provided for you. All couples may not be located in a major urban area where marriage preparation conferences are easily accessible. Some couples are separated by long distances through work, schooling or military service, and some have work or academic schedules that are not flexible enough to allow for the time required to attend regularly scheduled pre- marriage seminars.

Our Catholic Church is a living, evolving evangelist of our modern times. Now through the power of the internet, you and your fiancé can join together from anywhere in the world at any time of the day for on-line Marriage Preparation. These courses have been specifically designed to meet the needs of those who cannot attend courses in person and follow all the guidelines needed to meet your obligations of marriage preparation.

Divided into five different areas of study, these enlightening and discussion provoking courses take about an hour to complete. You and your fiancé each contribute your interpretations and thoughts on the different areas of marriage. Once completed your replies are submitted and reviewed by highly trained specialists in Catholic marriage preparation who then comment and advice you.
