Summary: “More than ever necessary in our times is preparation of young people for marriage and family life.” – St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio<br> Preparing for a wedding can be a whirl of appointments, deposits, planning, decision-making, “Pintresting”, and, sometimes, drama. But the wedding is just a day, marriage is a life time. Preparing for marriage is a very serious and important task for any couple. Marriage is naturally fraught with difficulties, and in our culture today that is especially true. There is little support for faithful marriage and many of us come from families who have given us poor examples of what a healthy marriage should look like. In this podcast we give some topics that couples really need to discuss as well as some of our own insights of how to renew the sacrament of marriage in our church.<br> Some Resources Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.foryourmarriage.org/">Catholic Bishops on Marriage</a><br> * <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biblical-vision-of-marriage-session-1/id161405928?i=1000332130035&mt=2">Fr.
