We had a great experience doing our Pre-Cana through The Marriage Group. The process was easy, we could go at our own pace, and it really got us in the mindset for marriage.

If I could, I would give The Marriage Group a million stars!!! I think every couple needs this class. After being in a relationship for 10 years we took this class and both wished we had taken it a decade ago, it gave the answers to so many of the struggles we had over the years!!!! Please do yourself a favor and take this pre cana class at the beginning of your relationship. God bless.

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.

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!
