Review:

The Your Marriage program by Liguori Publications offers prayerful reflections that help couples discern God’s will while preparing for the celebration of the sacrament and for the commitment of a lifelong marriage. I am particularly grateful for the session on military marriages, which highlights effective methods for the couples entrusted to my pastoral care to foster a strong marriage. Couples using this resource will build a strong foundation of love centered on Christ and his Church.

Liguori's Sacramental Preparation Series, Your Marriage, includes important topics of interest for engaged couples to discuss as they prepare for their wedding and a lifetime of marriage. I appreciate the chapter that includes information on the four different temperaments and encourages couples to harmonize their differences and see the richness of their strengths as a unique couple.
