Abstract
The Roman Catholic Church, especially in the past two decades, has
stressed the need for gradual and prolonged marriage preparation (remote,
proximate, immediate and aftercare). Programs and materials have been
developed to address the various stages of this need. However, an area
which continues to be neglected is marriage aftercare; this aftercare, when
focused on newly married couples (those married five years or less), | will
refer to as “early marriage enrichment.”
