SPONSOR COUPLE
A couple-to-couple ministry in which married couples are willing to share their marriage experiences as they journey and mentor engaged couples to help them prepare for the Sacrament of Matrimony. A few of the following are suggested qualities:

• Belief that marriage is a permanent and faithful commitment.
• Belief in God with an understanding that God and Church are necessary for a marriage to be successful.
• Willingness to share lived experiences of the sacrament.

Using five outlined sessions from Fr. Robert Ruhnke's book,  For Better and For Ever, an engaged couple meets with a sponsor couple in their home. Through individual reflection, written assignments and dialogue, the engaged couple learns from the couple living in a Catholic Christian marriage upon some of the realities of married life. 

Would Need To:

• Attend a training session.
• Willingness to journey with one or two engaged couples per year.
• Follow-up with the newly married couple during the first year of their marriage.
