VMMarriage Enrichment Programs
Strengthen marriages with parish-based enrichment programs. These opportunities—retreats, date-night series, or small group studies—help couples grow in their vocation, fostering unity and holiness. By supporting married couples, your parish builds a foundation for strong families and future vocations.
Programs like Worldwide Marriage Encounter or The Choice Wine offer practical tools for communication, prayer, and navigating challenges. A vocation ministry can champion these initiatives, connecting couples to resources that deepen their faith. As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Christ-centered marriages thrive with community support.
Encourage your parish to launch a marriage enrichment program to nurture lifelong love. These gatherings empower couples to live their vocation with joy, inspiring the entire community.
Resources
The Choice Wine: 7 Steps to a Superabundant Marriage is a pathway to authentic marital happiness. Couples will learn how to virtually divorce-proof their marriages, experience the superabundant love and mercy of God and realize a foretaste of Paradise in their marriages and families.
This program is free to parishes, so it is perfect for a large or small group setting of couples.
Be Light 5 Year Marriage Enrichment Movement draws married Catholic couples closer together in Christ while being transformed into family missionary disciples within their own communities. This path not only supports newly married couples during the fundamental first five years of their marriage but also helps all married couples in a community to open their hearts to the powerful way God remains present to them and in the Holy bond of Matrimony.
For Your Marriage and Por tu Matrimonio, websites are sites to inspire, assist, and encourage couples in English or Spanish to live their marriage more fully. It includes content for dating and engaged couples and family life and parenting, too.
Made for Love Podcast
Hosted by Sara Perla, a program specialist for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Made for Love is under the aegis of Marriage: Unique for a Reason, an initiative of the bishops’ conference.
While the podcast is focused on people “living out the call to love,” it is not afraid to explore the less-rosy forms of “love” in the world.
Catholic Family & Marriage
Catholic Family and Marriage is committed to supporting all types of families and marriages. We do not claim to have all of the answers but want to walk with families through their struggles and joys, through the heartbreaks and triumphs, as we all seek together deeper relationships rooted in Christ.
They offer free bulletin inserts for your parish.
