Catholic marriage prep doesn’t have to be terrible

A wedding is a day, a marriage is a lifetime. That’s what Paul and
Maureen Moses like to tell couples (including Zac and his wife)
that they prepare for matrimony. Paul and Maureen are coordinators
of Catholic Engaged Encounter in Brooklyn and Queens, and have been
married for 45 years. They run a weekend retreat that fulfills the
infamous “marriage prep” part of getting married in the Catholic
Church (though they’ve found that many non-Catholics get a lot out
of it, too). Zac and Ashley talk to them about what they’ve learned
about marriage in their vocation and how the church can better
accompany couples. The hosts are also joined by James Martin, S.J.,
to talk about how to discern whether the voice you heard during
prayer was God or just your ego talking.  Links from the

voice (and not your ego) in prayer by James Martin, S.J. Catholic
