Marriage Preparation: Fareham
Deacon Langford Vincent is the director of Marriage Preparation in the Parish of Fareham and Portchester. However we are one of a small team of couples who have delivered the ecumenical Marriage Preparation session in Fareham for the last 6 years. see www.loveandcherish.org.uk The programme is delivered intensively with up to 7 couples over a Friday evening and Saturday morning. The 10 topics covered are based around the Marriage Vow, highlighting Permanence and including a number of topics about communication but including Sacrament, relationship with God, having Children, Making Love and Forgiveness.
Last year about 50 couples from across Fareham participated; 10 were Catholic; feedback from couples is tremendously good.
