Catholic Marriages are Sacramental Marriages. A Sacramental Marriage is defined as one man and one woman uniting themselves with Christ placing HIS will over their own for the purpose of living a grace filled life. Sacramental Marriages require a couple to commit to certain daily, weekly, and yearly activities that protect the marriage while growing in intimacy with each other and Christ. Living out these practices allows the couple to grow and mature in their relationship with each other, their children, and the community that they live in. Living out this vocation provides graces that ripples out to each other, their families, their communities and to the world. God’s life-giving love is the foundation of every Sacramental Marriage and it is a necessity for maintaining peace in the world.

The Catholic Marriage Coaching Process provides a unique and specific support to these marriages, incorporating Catholic beliefs, values, and practices into the process of marriage coaching. Remembering that we were made in the image of Christ, we strive to reflect Christ in us. Unfortunately, we often can fall into the mindset of trying to make Christ into our own image, resulting in a distorted view that waters down the life-giving power that is available to us through the Holy Spirit.
