- From
Dave and Liz Percival's look at the Church's response to marriage
support needs (see our article on the Civitas survey in our
Members
Zone Resources section):
"There
are numerous opportunities to work in schools, with secular groups
locally, with registrars, with those in their own church. Some examples:
Students Exploring Marriage is looking for couples to go into schools
and be interviewed by students, Family
Matters Institute and Community
Family Trusts are working to bring together all interested parties
in a community to support marriage and family life.
"There are resources like the Marriage
Course which can be run in parish, FOCCUS
and Prepare/Enrich which
can be used both for engaged and married couples, nationally-based
events like Engaged Encounter, Marriage
Encounter, Association
for Marriage Enrichment, Mission
to Marriage and many more where couples can get away from the
parish to strengthen their marriage."
