Experience has shown that couples who undertake some form of pre-marriage preparation are better equipped to face their future together. Every couple preparing for marriage are obliged to complete a Pre-Marriage Course. There is no specific time by which the course has to be completed by in order to obtain maximum benefit from it, couples should complete a course as soon as possible.
ACCORD is the Diocesan marriage care agency that provides pre-marriage courses and we strongly recommend that you attend one of their courses. Early booking is essential as courses are in great demand and fill up quickly.
ACCORD can be contacted through any of their local Accord offices or website.

There are also several other pre-marriage courses offered by other agencies. One which we strongly recommend is by Grasta, which is a weekend residential course which takes place in Co. Laois, having been informally offered in Esker of Athenry.
