Testimonials:
"I wanted to let y'all know how great your marriage class was! My fiancee and I are getting married in two weeks and couldn't have asked for such a practical, yet effective marriage prep. It was so much fun. Honestly if y'all offer this again in the next year we would 100% take it."

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Are you married, engaged, or being called to the marital vocation?
Introducing our 9-video recorded marriage workshop with Timothy and Stephanie Gordon. This is a VERY SPECIFIC course for marriage, in a time when the Church and society offer ZERO help--frequently even LIES about marriage--to married people. (The Gordons will teach nine truths about marriage so embarrassingly or dangerously true that no one speaks of them in ANY corner of the Catholic Church!)
