Q. Why is marriage formation necessary for a Catholic wedding?

1. The Catholic church recognizes the holiness of the Sacrament of Marriage and wishes to encourage the members who are drawn to this vocation to grow in both their faith and their connection to their beloved through this process. Marriage is the bedrock upon which the Domestic Church is built, and strong marriages support strong families and communities.
