Mangalore, Nov 23: The Family Life Service Centre, Mangalore diocese offers two days' marriage preparation programme for the engaged couples.
The couple need to attend the progamme as communication and sharing between them about their family of origin, their family culture, traditions and celebrations is vital for a good marriage life.
According to Fr Victor D' Mello, director of the centre, the couples should share with each other their expectation in marriage as well from each other. This is possible at the course when they attend it together.
The programme gives them a worksheet to complete in order to share with each other the above concerns. This, Fr Victor says, helps them to talk to each other even after the marriage whenever they face conflicts in their relationship.
