Developed specifically for those getting married in the Catholic Church, 'Preparing for Marriage' is designed to facilitate couples on their journey to their wedding, teaching and guiding them to have not only a successful and happy marriage but a marriage as planned for them by God.

This comprehensive marriage programme has been running in the Archdiocese of Southwark for many years. It has now been produced as two books: an A4 workbook for couples (two per couple) which is full of information and exercises, and this book for catechists which has advice on how to deliver the material, suggested frameworks for running your own programme and two DVDs that include videos that can be shown to couples for each topic - some are anecdotal from couples while others have more of a presentation style.

The programme will work equally as well for one couple attending instruction as for groups of fifteen or so couples for parish or diocesan days held periodically throughout the year.
