What is the Three to Get Married Weekend Retreat all about?
The Three To Get Married Marriage Preparation Program is a weekend experience for seriously dating couples, engaged couples, and married couples offered under the direction of the Legionaries of Christ.
The program draws upon the best in contemporary psychology, practical wisdom from the experience of married couples, and the beauty of the Catholic Church’s teachings on marriage and family life in order to give you the best foundation on which to build a successful marriage. This is achieved through a variety of seminars, discussions, and private time to ensure that each couple is provided a reflective and in-depth preparation for a joyful, faith-filled marriage—based on love that not only endures but actually grows stronger year after year. This intensive preparation experience is true to the teachings of the Catholic Church and presented by priests and experienced married couples.
The program also satisfies the Pre-Cana requirements for couples getting married in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, and by pastoral permission, those marrying outside the local area.
