A sculptor must know two things as he/she sets to work. They must understand the stone they are working with, or "faults" will spoil the statue. They must also have in a mind the ideal picture of what they want to create. In this sense marriage is an art. One can hardly begin it without knowing something of your future spouse and where they come from. We need to know the way their minds, feelings and bodies actually work. It's also important for you to have an "ideal" of family life, a picture of what you want your marriage and home to be. We offer Marriage Preparation Workshops to help couples to understand the seriousness of entering into the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. (This workshop is an optional extra – separate fee)
