The Catholic Marriage Fellowship Model

---

Evangelization starts with relationship. Begin with a core group that desires to witness life in Christ to each other, pray together, plan, organize and market social gatherings that build connection, win trust and establish friendships in an authentic Christian community. Once the core group is set and formed for ministry, it's time to begin inviting others into the fellowship.

Once a community of married couples has been established, offer them some solid catechesis and practical skills to enlighten, strengthen and inspire their marriage.

At some point in the year (Advent, Lent or Summer), host an annual retreat or day/evening of reflection to help husbands and wives encounter Jesus Christ as individuals and spouses through Mass, Adoration, Reconciliation and spiritual reflections.

Marriage enrichment is a lifelong process. Inspire couples to continue growing and sharing  their witness of how they encounter the power and love of Jesus Christ alive in their marriage.
