It is important to accompany couples in their preparation for marriage, remembering that there are different legitimate ways of organizing such itineraries. As we read in Amoris Laetitia, 207: “They do not need to be taught the entire Catechism or overwhelmed with too much information… marriage preparation should be a kind of ‘initiation’ to the sacrament of matrimony, providing couples with the help they need to receive the sacrament worthily and to make a solid beginning of life as a family”. It is important to accompany young families, above all in the first years of marriage, and this includes helping them to play an active part in the Christian community.
