Living a Joy-Filled Marriage is a virtue-based, life-skills marriage preparation program designed to help engaged couples set patterns of thought and behavior that will ensure a lifelong, joy-filled marriage.
Living a Joy-Filled Marriage springs from the teaching of Blessed John Paul II’s calling to families and couples to explore their uniqueness by seeking their identity and mission in Christ.
The Living a Joy-Filled Marriage Review Pack includes:
Couple's Workbook
Leader's Guide (Binder)
Marriage Action Plan Book
This program incorporates a three-stage approach:
Learning Stage: First, couples learn sound principles and a fresh, virtue-based approach to life skills through the narrative of a live presentation.
Discuss & Discover Stage: Through a variety of focused activities, couples discuss their relationships, learn about themselves, and begin applying what they have learned.
Plan & Build Stage: The final stage helps couples to recognize topics they may need to discuss at a later date, to identify shared goals, and to set concrete plans to build a joy-filled marriage. All of this is captured in this planning document, The Marriage Action Plan (MAP).
