Pre Marriage Course

[No wides]

Biggest load of shite going. 30 years behind the times.

What do you as a couple fall out about?  Ok here's a flip chart with another 50 possible areas in case you hadn't thought of them.

Advice- given -in the middle of a blazing row, take each other's hand, look into each other's eyes and say an Our Father together - I kid you not

My advice would be to anyone, if they can avoid it, do so. 10 hours of your life you can never get back again. Cringeworthy!

Sums it up nicely

It's somewhere in the middle really between pleasant and boring.

It's pretty much bull but it doesn't do any harm and the people are nice enough at it. We did an evening then an all day Saturday. It was too long I'm pretty sure it could be knocked out in 3 hours really.

It's part of the process. Go do a civil ceremony if you don't want to do it.

So many just want the church wedding for the photos. Hypocrites.

I didn't know so many of you were all from the same parish as mb80b60 and can talk about your shared experiences of the pre marriage course there.
As foxcommander says it is part of the process - if you want married in the church then go through with it....there's always the town hall

I found our course as Rois said a little slow paced but enjoyable nonetheless. We were faced with some questions we maybe hadn't considered about finances, in-laws, boundaries etc.
I don't think too many people have an easy first year as a married couple  - whatever help and support you can get going in to it should be welcomed.

And why not the church itself are a bunch of hypocrites.

Its part of a process that's complete and utter scutter, a huge waste of time, jobs for the boys type scenario. I got married in a church because religion is important to my wife and I. The marriage course given by a couple of f@cktards on the payroll was cringeworthy, I don't like getting lectured by people like this.

Confession is part of the church's process who goes to that on a regular basis - their are a lot of Hypocrites.about.

Bloody right foxcommander, nothing as bad as Á la Carte Catholics, picking and choosing what they do and don't do!

thankfully none of the staunch catholics on here participate on bearing false witness and having sex outside the sanctity of marriage, especially when in Meath!

If you are relying on help from a pre marriage course you are in dire straights!

I think we should have an FAQ on the site to explain this to the newbies.

[AZOffaly]

It would be a short FAQ. No matter the question, the answer is Fearon.

I don't know how's this a jobs for the boys? Sounds like you were unlucky with the presenters.
If you don't like the way your local priest delivers his sermons do you call him a f@cktard too and dismiss him?

So the 21 year old sweethearts have it all figured out?
Maybe you already have all the answers but how often do you get the opportunity to listen to other couples openly talking that aren't your friends and family.

[STREET FIGHTER]

Personally I thought it was good enough craic....

Only had to do a 9.00 - 4.00 shift.....

The bit were you had to assess your other half in terms of how well you knew each other was particularly interesting!

She was surprised at some of my answers to say the least!
