A critical aspect of our program is the time you will spend in conversation with your fiancé talking about the different topics that we will present to you and sharing with each other your responses to the questionnaires that we have provided above. 

We realize that everyone is in a different situation during this time of isolation and lockdown. If you are both able to attend from the same location, then you will be able to have these conversations face to face.

But, if you and your fiancé are isolated in separate locations during this time, it’s important to find the ability to talk to each other during the questionnaire times. We are sure you have a preferred platform for communicating with each other. Please make sure that you have open lines of communication to make the most of this time.

These conversations are the building blocks for your marriage. Please be open and honest with each other.

Tips for finding quiet:

• Create a spot in your home where you can be away from any other activity. Here are some ideas for Creating a Prayer Corner in your home.
• Discuss with other family members or roomates your desire to spend this quiet time. 
• Plan your mealtimes to allow you to continue your reflection and discussion time. Make something ahead of time, or make the task of preparing the meal a prayer itself. 

Technical preparations

• If you don't have ZOOM installed on your computer, download the app and try to familiarize yourself with the controls.
• Watch the Pre-Retreat Technical Orientation Video.
