New York Archdiocese Launches Expanded Marriage Prep/Maggie Gallagher
From what I gather the effort is to integrate the practical (relationship skills) with the theological (the Catholic vision of marriage). As a graduate of the New York Archdioscese pre-Cana program (circa 1993), udos for the expanded ambition!

'God's Plan'
Archdiocese to introduce new marriage preparation program

By MARY ANN POUST, Catholic New York, December 2005.

What do you do after you say "I do?"

That's a question all newlywed couples have to address sooner or laterÑand a redesigned archdiocesan marriage preparation program aims to help them find the answer.

"There's a lot of misunderstanding about the nature of marriage that people get from the popular culture," said Sister Mary Elizabeth, S.V., director of the Family Life/Respect Life Office, which runs the new program.

"So one of our main goals is to present the beauty of God's plan for marriage," she said, "and to do it in a way that makes sense to people today, in a way that makes sense to couples today."

The redesigned program for engaged couples, to begin in January, expands the marriage preparation program from one full day to two; or from two evening sessions to four. . .
