If you're looking for Catholic workshops or resources for engaged couples getting remarried, here are some helpful options:

Engaged Couples Workshops
The Diocese of Toledo offer workshops designed for engaged couples. While these may primarily cater to first-time marriages, they can still provide valuable preparation for remarriage. Check out this link for workshops offered by the Diocese of Toledo: Engaged Couples Workshop.

Resources for Second Marriages
The website For Your Marriage offers resources specifically for couples entering second marriages. It includes guidance on unique challenges and opportunities in remarriage.

Retreats for Second Marriages
Some dioceses, like the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, have hosted retreats for couples preparing for remarriage. These retreats address topics unique to second marriages. Check their website for updates: Marriage and Family Life.

One-on-One Meetings with Pastors
