About the Programme

‘Love is a Decision’ & the Commit programme

The Commit and Love is a Decision programme is designed to be completed one after the other and are held in person in Wellington. By doing both of these courses, couples are involved in a comprehensive package in order to prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage.

This course is open to couples of any or mixed faith, not only for Catholics.

Married couples present the in-person course and facilitate the Commit Questionnaire with you.

The focus of each step is about discussions between the couple, spending time without distractions and in a relaxed neutral setting, prompting useful discussions between you and your partner, on important topics, things like your unique differences as individuals, your family of origin and early learning about relationships, continuing to build a life together and your shared values, maintaining healthy communications and ways of managing conflict, and continuing to grow your already thriving relationship.  

The Commit Questionnaire simply identifies areas that could use more discussion between you. The in-person course delves into useful topics. The couples facilitating the course will share and discuss insights of the realities, challenges and joys of marriage in each of the areas.

When you register for the “Love is a Decision” face to face course, you are automatically registered for the Commit Questionnaire introductory programmeAn Archdiocesan Marriage Educator will contact you directly to complete the Commit course before you attend the face to face group course “Love is a Decision”. The total cost is $130.00 per couple.
