"The marriage prep program and retreat were very beneficial for our marriage.  It allowed us to grow even closer in our relationship with each other and with God.  Without the retreat, we may have  never talked the time to talk about the important topics that will help make our marriage last.  After that weekend, we were both able to step back from the planning and wedding details and realize what our marriage was really about; getting each other to heaven."

Beloved: The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage helps prepare couples and provides ongoing formation in a program that is beautifully filmed and is rooted in the New Evangelization.

Throughout the Beloved series, ordinary couples share their stories and how their marriage has been strengthened by the grace of the sacrament through prayer, the Eucharist, confession, forgiveness, and humility.
