Unitas Marriage Preparation Program

 

The majority of the engaged couples have rated this program a ten on a ten point scale.

 

The program needs:

We need a presenting couples.

We need more “table couples.”

 

The presenting couples give a talk, share from their hearts their experience and facilitate the session five times a year.

 

The table couples work with preferably 2 to 3 couples at a table facilitating discussions and

sharing from their hearts for all seven sessions of a program.

 

We call both of them Marriage Ministry Couples (MMCs).

 

 

The qualities we need:

Couples do not have to be saints or be perfect; no one is.

The main qualities are faith and being a practicing Catholics

and having a relatively successful marriage

and are willing to share from their hearts.

They may be married five years or more.

And it is best if they are not involved in too many other things.

 

Training:

Attend and participate in the seven sessions of the Unitas Program with discussion after each session.

When we trained our first team two and a half years ago, they got so much out of the program that they wanted to turn it into a marriage enrichment program.  Some have attended two programs before becoming a presenter or being responsible for a table.

 

Check the schedule for the next program.
