This inventory is not simply a “tack on section,” but a full inventory designed for couples who have been civilly married. Whether a couple has been civilly married for a few years or many years, this specialized inventory includes key points for couples to discuss. The language of the Convalidation Inventory acknowledges the lived experience of the couple as a spouse, and captures this vital opportunity to enrich that experience while preparing for sacramental marriage.
Topical areas covered are:
- Marriage as a Sacrament
- Recreation, Friendships, Habits & Boundaries
- Family of Origin Issues
- Communication & Conflict Resolution
- Catholic Identity
- Finances
- Intimacy & Sexuality
- Catholic Parenting
- Vocation & Careers
- Special Sections for Ecumenical Marriage, Second Marriage and Blended Families
The Convalidation Facilitator Guide pages include in-depth catechetical teaching points, additional references to scripture, and quotes from the Couple’s Workbook. Moreover, these materials carry a Nihili Obstat and Imprimatur.
All materials available in Spanish.
The materials can be ordered online via your parish profile or by calling 320-252-4721.
