Dear Father Ray,
It is wonderful that you pointed out the confession is best preperation for the Sacrament of Matrimony. The first time I was married in the Catholic Church. I never partook of Communion when I attended Mass. I never went to confession prior to my first wedding. Needless to say. The marriage was a disaster. The second time around after going through the annulment process and preparing for my second marriage (first true marriage), confession was was my primary means of Matrimonial preperation. I now have a wonderful Catholic family with two small children and practicing Catholic wife. I owe it all to Jesus Christ and his Sacrament of Confession.
