[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the sentiment expressed that pre-cana is valuable, whether or not you are Catholic.  Our pre-cana class was surprisingly [b]practical[/b], in that it allowed us to discuss finances/career/life goals, etc. in depth, in greater depth than we would have on our own.  Money/financial issues apparently present the greatest conflicts/stress in marriages, so it's beneficial to discuss and also try to understand how your future spouse regards money, e.g., saver/spender?   There was no discussion of natural family planning (our Church is part of the ADW).  Regardless of what you decide, opt for some type of pre-cana type relationship/pre-marriage counseling.  [/quote]

Most people I've talked have similar experiences.  (There isn't if any discussion of sex/family planning.)

OP, is your fiancé opposed b/c he does not want to talk to a priest, does not want to talk in front of other couples, or does not want to do any pre-marriage kind of counseling at all regardless of who does it?  Just doesn't want to bother?  Does he really not to be married within the church?

I think you need to talk with him and figure out what his motivation is.[/quote]
