Pre-Cana Seminar

We were required to attend a Pre-Cana Seminar at the Parish. We registered for the Nov. 7-8 seminar. The next seminar will be on December which would be a little to late for us if we attend that schedule.

There were nine couples in the seminar and the first speaker was a retired teacher from the same school where Inay used to teach. She talked about responsibilities of a person to his/her partner. After an hour or so, another speaker came to discuss about Catechism. She also reminded us the prayers we should know as Catholics and how to properly make the sign of the Cross. :)

That afternoon, a retired teacher discussed about married life. About how to properly deal with marital problems that will arise. After the first day of seminar, I realized that what the speakers were teaching us was marriage is a very sacred thing and only death can make a couple part. Whatever problems, crisis, differences should be discussed by both partners, even with the help of a counselor to be able to resolve those. In short, there is no reason for a husband and wife to separate. Makes you think...

The next day, the seminar is only for a half-day. Another co-teacher of Inay was the speaker. :) And she always gave The Cook and my names whenever she gave sample situations. The Cook said among all the speakers, he liked this speaker best. He wasn't sleepy and learned alot from her. :)

I truly enjoyed these seminars. It makes you realize the gravity of the responsibilities you will be facing and the joys of married life. It prepares couples as they start on living as one.
