Preparation

2013 Marriage Preparation Brochure


The information provided on this website has been written in response to the questions most often received from engaged couples and clergy. The registration process will go more smoothly if you read the information provided thoroughly before registering for your educational program(s).

It is important that you have a printed copy of the marriage prep brochure available for reference as you begin this process. Please choose the brochure for the year in which you are preparing for marriage; not the year you are being married, if they are different.

Note that you will enter information for the Bride first and the Groom second. Once you have registered for your educational program(s) and made payment online, you can expect it will take 3 – 5 days before you and your fiancé will each receive an e-mail with the log in and password information necessary for each of you to complete the FOCCUS Pre-Marriage Inventory online or for the REFOCCUS packet to be sent by mail. Again, please allow the 5 day window before contacting the marriage prep specialist. 

If you are clear about the registration process, you may proceed to the links below.
