Marriage Prep

To be completely honest I have been pretty anxious about marriage prep. We live in a different Diocese then where we are getting married, but we have elected to do marriage prep through our current parish. I have worked hard to make sure we are fulfilling all the requirements for my Priest back home. My fiance is not catholic so I was nervous the prep stuff would be to "preachy"....but all my fears were relieved when we had our first session. I really enjoyed it...it was a great opportunity to reflect and discuss about our relationship and future. Some of the issues that we discussed are easy to assume we know or try to avoid. We have 4 more sessions and I can honestly say I am looking forward to them.

We are going to cross another Marriage Prep requirement off the list this weekend and attend an intro class to Natural Family Planning....I am a little freaked out about this. I have to say that I trust that God knows what is best for us, but I don't trust myself to test, interrupt or calculate my fertile days!!! I did download a NFP charting program to my itouch so I can record/chart using my itouch...much better than the little baby stickers that I find a little creepy!!
