Marriage Preparation
Gayle – Some topics, such as retirement, were not discussed when we went through marriage prep as older adult
Gerry – There are different methods of Natural Family Planning and we found some of them conflict with each other.
Kevin – Maybe people are not getting married in the Church because there’s more glitz and glamor getting married in scenic spots like beaches. Also, I got a vasectomy against my wishes. What should I do?
Dave - Marriage Prep is important. I didn't have it and we got divorced.
