For Leaders

The Witness to Love Hybrid Experience combines our proven virtues-based marriage formation with online coaching, offering a comprehensive experience for engaged and civilly-married couples and their chosen mentors. With more couples in long-distance relationships or without parish connections, this innovative approach provides quality formation and personalized support, accommodating various schedules and situations before and after the wedding. Utilizing certified WTL Coaches, the Hybrid Experience delivers tailored guidance and fosters parish engagement, unlike other online programs that offer content but lack community connection.

I believe we definitely grew as a couple, not only closer to each other, but closer to God and the church. We really focused on the sacrament of marriage throughout the preparation. We also talked about things that really happen after the wedding; not being 100% perfect all of the time and how to deal with conflict/differences.

I would certainly recommend Be More Retreat to other couples. With each lesson being roughly 30 minutes or so long, you receive a great amount of knowledge regarding each topic that will certainly benefit those engaging in marriage

Witness to Love has helped us to be more open to expressing our faith and relationship with others. We plan to continue to go to mass with our mentor couple on a regular basis, connecting with our church community with our mentor couple and we hope to become more involved in the parish.
