diocesan remarriage preparation
					When EITHER the male or the female partner has been previously married, the engaged couple faces some special challenges in preparing for a lifetime together. This is especially true when either or both partners already have children. Because the Church wishes couples the best of married and family life, the Diocese of Fall River provides a program designed especially to assist those with children to prepare for remarriage. Working with a team couple (who are themselves remarried) participants are encouraged to examine subjects, which include: Bringing closure to the previous marriage The effect of our backgrounds Challenges and joys of remarriage Marital intimacy Effective communication Family blending or becoming parents Relationship with God and more. The goal is to stimulate thought and discussion about the future and to offer tools which can help to build a strong marriage. Prior to meeting with the team couple the engaged couple will complete some preparation exercises. To register for remarriage preparation, couples with children should fill out the registration form. Indicate Remarriage in the space "Program Chosen." You will be contacted to set a date.
