It is important to remember that a marriage is not a ceremony, a social event, a mere formality, or an abstract ideal. Pope Francis said, It is a gift from God that joins a man and woman together so that ‘the two shall become one flesh’ and ‘what God has joined together, no human being must separate.”
Ideally, marriage preparation begins when children model their Catholic parents, mature in their Catholic community, come to understand their worth in God's eyes, and live out their unique Baptismal call. Marriage preparation is a lifelong journey (just ask any married couple), regardless of where either of you started or the journey both of you took to get here. God is happy to have you choosing the Catholic faith and church as a crucial step along the way.
