Two-hour presentation providing engaged couples with insights into Church teaching about the spirituality of sexual intimacy in the sacrament of marriage, supplementing the many excellent marriage programs offered in the archdiocese. Attendance Certificates provided.

First hour of the program:
Designed in consultation with the tribunal, addresses some concerns with the not always adequate understanding of the three questions asked at a Catholic wedding ceremony, the physical and spiritual aspects of conjugal love, the importance of the extended family, pre-marital cohabitation, and domestic violence.

Second hour the program:
Presents medical information regarding fertility, infertility, STD's, HIV/AIDS, contraceptives, barrier methods, four major groups of Natural Family Planning, and Church teaching about their application. In conclusion couples are invited to educate themselves further by attending a full series of four NFP classes offered at various locations in the archdiocese, at hospitals, churches, and schools.

Couples required to attend the presentation expressed an appreciation for the insights gained during the program, even if their reaction before the program had been negative.
