Premarital Inventories

I think premarital inventories are a very important thing to consider. My brother is engaged to be married in August and he and his fiance are going through classes at our Catholic Church. I was talking to them about the types of things they have to do and they informed me that they took the FOCCUS. They said they were glad that the church enforces the use of this because it got them talking about things they had overlooked until that point. They were happy to find that they could meet on common ground on any issues that came up. When I start preparing for marriage, I know I will be able to benefit from premarital inventory the same as they have; because let's face it, touchy subjects are easily avoided in daily relationship interactions but taking the FOCCUS (or something of the like) forces us to confront those issues before getting in over our head.
