Better Together
by Dynamic Catholic
A wedding lasts one day. A marriage is meant to last a lifetime. Dynamic Catholic built Better Together for the lifetime.
Better Together is Dynamic Catholic's marriage preparation and enrichment program. It is built around short videos, a Couple's Guide workbook and a Leader Guide for the parish facilitator. The videos cover eight topics Dynamic Catholic says every couple should talk through before the wedding, from conflict resolution to faith and prayer. There is also a free online marriage prep inventory, partly built on principles from marriage researcher Dr. John Gottman, plus a version for couples who are already married. Planning a Great Wedding Ceremony walks you through readings, prayers and vows for a Catholic wedding or Mass.
Dynamic Catholic says all the program content is free online. A printed Program Pack (two Couple's Guides, a Leader Guide, a DVD set and the wedding planner) is listed as free plus shipping, and individual components are sold separately. It suits engaged couples, married couples who want a tune-up, and anyone in OCIA who is preparing to marry in the Church. Watch the videos together, then put the phone down and talk.
