Marriage is a vocation that makes two people holy.

For more than 17 years, The Marriage Group® has offered Catholic marriage preparation as the beginning of something, not a requirement to get through. We walk with couples from their first lesson into the years that follow their wedding day.

We also partner with parish marriage formation teams to provide couples with well-rounded support—giving parishes more freedom to focus on personal connection and pastoral care rather than logistics. Our mission is to help build strong Catholic marriages with support that continues well beyond the traditional pre-wedding classes.

Designed to promote real conversation.

"It brought up important issues, many of which we hadn't thought about previously and provoked good conversation regarding these important topics."

Laura & Kurt, Married in Iowa

"We found the videos to be informative and it allowed us to have open discussions in the privacy of our own home and allowed us to take as much time as we needed for each session."

Maureen & John, Married in New York

"Considering we live on opposite sides of the country, this was the perfect program for us to take part in. We were given all the information we needed in an engaging way, and it challenged us to have conversations about more than we initially expected."

Shawn & Megan, California and Georgia

"We really enjoyed the course and all the topics. It really helped both of us open up and discuss these topics with no restraints and with better understanding of our views on our future."
