Engaged Couple Workbook for Transformed in Love – Building Your Catholic Marriage

This Catholic marriage preparation program was developed in the Archdiocese of Boston by a highly qualified group of priests, deacons, theologians, psychologists, and married couples. During a three-year pilot program, Transformed in Love: Building Your Catholic Marriage was enthusiastically received by engaged couples, program leaders, and team members. Their feedback helped shape the program, making it user-friendly and adapted to your needs.

The Engaged Couple Workbook is designed to be used with its companion volume, the Leader and Team Manual. Both volumes were written with consideration of the pastoral challenges brought on by current cultural attitudes toward marriage and family life. The manual provides the materials and instructions for carrying out the program. The workbook is intended for individual participant use, since it contains questionnaires and other interactive elements that require you and your fiancé/fiancée to respond separately. This marriage preparation program will help you build strong foundations for a lasting union by:

- Reconnecting you with the faith
- Explaining the nature and significance of sacramental marriage
- Suggesting practical skills for living out your marriage vows
- Providing the witness of faith-filled married couples

Integrating faith formation with dimensions of everyday living such as household responsibilities, work, raising children, holiday celebrations, and finances, this workbook offers you a comprehensive and practical approach. Witness presentations, new media, teaching modules, group and individual exercises, and mentoring help you acquire the tools you need to build a happy and fulfilling marriage.
