The Canons of the Church require premarital instruction for couples to be married. This instruction covers many topics of interest to a couple entering into marriage. These sessions are arranged at the convenience of the officiating clergy and the bride and groom.

​

If the bride or groom has not been married before, they must attend four counseling sessions; six if either has been divorced. In some cases, after initial consultation, arrangements may be made for a couple residing out of state to receive counseling from clergy in the community where they live.
