Joy-Filled Marriage Prep

Congratulations on your engagement! You can count on our prayers and support for a long, happy and joy filled marriage at Côr Ministries PGH!
Côr Marriage Prep, "Joy-Filled Marriage" uses the Ascension Press program rooted in Theology of the Body, utilizing all of their great content and research while featuring additional talks that address significant issues that affect marriages today. Our local and passionate speakers will provide you with the best tools and skills, so that your marriage will truly be a joyful experience! Through a balance of psychology, theology and personal stories from our dynamic speaker team, we highlight the importance of fully understanding the Sacrament of Marriage and preparing for the all years that follow your wedding day. Throughout the program you’ll be guided to understand what “I do” truly means, the impact family of origin has on the new family you are creating, the importance of praying together and work on key marriage skills that you will be able to unpack throughout your marriage.
We are honored to be a part of your marriage journey and look forward to meeting you!
