Hello Fr. Rob, Just wanted to give you an update on our marriage. Our ceremony was this past Saturday in Bucaramanga, Colombia and everything was beautiful. Your books really helped us prepare and explore many topics before our wedding day. We will continue to refer to them as we venture forward in this new adventure. I just wanted to drop you a few lines and tell you again thank you for the beautiful work you are doing. It is really making a difference. Much gratitude and many blessings to you.
Peace and love, James and Ana Milena Bucaramanga, Colombia August 15, 2025

We have been blessed to help prepare couples for marriage for over 38 years. Many of them end up being lifelong friends. We have used For Better and For Ever from the beginning, either as our main materials or as a supplement to whatever program the parish was using. In our opinion, it's an excellent program, the best we have ever encountered. It is more thorough. It brings up many critical issues, including difficult ones in a gentle but honest way.

We are so grateful for the Narrens who served as our Sponsor Couple. They were so helpful as we worked through the workbook and gave us such wonderful advice. We are so excited to stay connected with them as we begin our newlywed lives shortly!
A grateful couple who will be married very soon. May 24, 2025

Me and my fiance (now husband) are so grateful for the guidance Fr. Ruhnke was able to provide. The "For Better and For Ever" book is a wonderful resource for dating, engaged, and married couples; we will be continuing to use this resource in our marriage because it helps us continually learn more about each other, as well as our family backgrounds, problem solving, and intimacy. We are so grateful to have received communication skills from Fr. Ruhnke and the book and for also receiving a sponsor couple to stay in touch with. Thank you for helping us in our discernment as we now live out our vocation of marriage!

My testimony using "For Better and For Ever": "I was in a serious relationship with my boyfriend and being a bit older, we wanted to lead with intention on our road to a potential marriage. Seeing my own family/relative members use "For Better and For Ever" for their marriage preparation, helped me decide to use the same thoughtful and detailed questions for our relationship in discernment for marriage. It helped us sift through our family background and values to take a step back and see that marriage would not be the best fit for us and that our values were slightly misaligned. We are grateful for the space to process the differences and have more of a roadmap in a relationship, rather than just getting married, because it is the next step. It also brought God in our relationship in a different way. Thank you so much for this resource! I highly recommend it as a pre-engagement or serious dating resource as well!"
Best Regards,

I was looking for assistance to help me obtain an annulment so I could be married in the Catholic Church and discovered your website. I truly appreciate your encouragement and counsel in going through what is a most thorough experience…and I am still awaiting the final decision of the Tribunal. But I want to say that you provide a great service to the Church, not only for couples preparing for marriage, but for those of us who stumble from lack of adequate marriage preparation and now are living out the results.
Warmest Regards, Martha A. in Michigan January 6, 2023
